👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). If your air fryer requires preheating, this will take just a few minutes.
2. Prepare the Buns
Spread butter evenly on the outside of each hot dog bun. For extra flavor, sprinkle a little garlic powder on the butter before assembling.
3. Assemble the Hot Dogs
Place a slice of cheese in the center of each bun, followed by a hot dog. If you like, sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese inside the bun before adding the hot dog for a crispy finish.
4. Air Fry the Grilled Cheese Hot Dogs
Place the prepared hot dogs in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cheese is melted, the buns are golden brown, and the hot dogs are heated through.
5. Serve & Enjoy
Remove the hot dogs from the air fryer and serve immediately. Enjoy your crispy, cheesy, and flavorful hot dogs with your favorite sides like fries, chips, or a fresh salad!
