Egg Dog Recipe
There are 10 hot dog buns in a package, BUT 8 hot dogs in a package…what do you do with the remaining 2 buns? Simple…Egg Dog! Putting a spin on an egg, ham and cheese breakfast sandwich that uses the hot dog bun as the toasted bread. The hot dog bun soaks up the runny egg and makes a breakfast less messy. Simple, delicious and answers everyone’s burning question of how to use up the buns.
- 1 tablespoon of Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 2 slices of Ham
- 1 slice of cheese (any type of cheese you choose)
- 1 hot dog bun (toasted)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Ketchup (optional)
- Heat a skillet on medium heat with butter. Cook the eggs with the yolk still a little runny. (Cook longer if you would like your yolk cooked thoroughly). Salt and pepper to taste.
- Melt the cheese and ham on top of the eggs. (Bacon can replace the ham)
- Place the egg, cheese and ham inside the toasted hot dog bun.
- Enjoy!

huh! that's pretty imaginative, or perhaps simply a case of "mother of invention"- (no bread in the house other than hot dog buns?) Sounds simple and I bet it tastes pretty darn good- I prefer whole wheat or whole grain hot dog buns but I doubt it would make much difference. Now how do you get those dog buns in (and out) of the toaster? : )
I know my kids and husband will love these!!!! Thanks!!
