Hot Dog Ingredients
- 4 soft morning buns
- 4 plump sausages
- 1-2 leaves of fresh lettuce
- 1/2 small onion
- 2-3 pickles
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- Honey mustard sauce, to taste
- Ketchup, to taste
- 1 Tbsp butter, melted
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the onion for the hot dog’s delightful flavor. Finely mince 1/2 of a small onion. Soaking the minced onion in cold water for about 5 minutes helps to mellow its sharp bite, making it more enjoyable for children. After soaking, gently squeeze out any excess water.
Step 2
Next, prepare the pickles for a satisfying crunch. Finely chop 2-3 pickles. Just like the onion, chopping them very finely will make them easier for children to eat and integrate well into the topping. You can lightly rinse them under running water before chopping.
Step 3
Now, let’s whip up the special sauce that kids love! Combine the minced onion and pickles in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of creamy mayonnaise and 1/2 tablespoon of sugar for a touch of sweetness. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar or mayonnaise to suit your taste.
Step 4
Prepare your soft morning buns. Carefully slice each morning bun horizontally in half using a knife. Be gentle to avoid crumbling the buns. Then, brush the cut inner surfaces of the buns with melted butter. This step adds a lovely buttery aroma and enhances the overall flavor.
Step 5
Generously spread the delicious onion and pickle sauce you just made onto the buttered inner side of the morning bun halves. Don’t be shy with the sauce; a good amount will make the hot dog extra tasty!
Step 6
Next, add some fresh lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces, on top of the sauce. (If your child prefers other greens, you can also use romaine lettuce or baby greens.) Then, place a slightly blanched, plump sausage on top of the lettuce. Blanching the sausage briefly in hot water helps it plump up nicely.
Step 7
Finally, generously drizzle ketchup and honey mustard sauce over the hot dog according to your preference! With colorful sauces generously added, your delicious Morning Bun Hot Dog is complete. Enjoy a fun snack time with your kids!
