Description
Using caramelized onion, melted cheese, and pickled cucumber takes an everyday hot dog to another level.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Heat the oil in a medium, heavy-based frying pan over a low heat. Add the onions and cook for 15 minutes, until softened but not browned. Add the sugar, vinegar, 2 tbsp water, and season well. Continue to cook for 15 minutes, or until the onions are sweet and sticky. Set aside.
Step 2 of 4
Preheat the grill on its highest setting. Run the blade of a large knife along the surface of each rasher to stretch out the bacon if it is thickly cut; this will help it wrap easily around the sausage. Thinly cut bacon can be used as it is. Prick each sausage a couple of times with a fork, then wrap a slice of bacon around each one, in a spiral fashion, so that the meat is covered with the bacon.
Step 3 of 4
Place the wrapped sausages, join-side down, on a baking sheet and grill for 10-15 minutes, turning only after the top is crispy and brown. When they are crispy all over, remove from the grill. Spread 1 tbsp of the mustard on top of each sausage. Arrange them together on the baking sheet, so that they are touching each other and sprinkle all over with the cheese, being sure to mound it up along each sausage. Return them to the grill and cook briefly until the cheese is melted.
Step 4 of 4
To serve, spread a quarter of the caramelized red onions into each hot dog bun, top with a bacon and cheese sausage, and sprinkle 1 tbsp of the pickled cucumbers along the top.
