A delightful twist on classic hot dogs, combining the flavors of pizza and the convenience of a handheld snack.
Preheat your oven to broil.
Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle for even broiling.
Slice the hot dog buns lengthwise without cutting them completely through.
Use a serrated knife for a clean cut.
Place the buns on a cookie sheet.
Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly inside each bun.
Distribute the cheese evenly for consistent flavor.
Place a hot dog inside each bun over the cheese.
Press the hot dog gently to secure it in place.
Spread pizza sauce over the hot dogs.
Use a spoon to spread the sauce evenly.
Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top.
Add a little extra for a cheesier taste.
Broil in the oven until the cheese is bubbly and the hot dogs are heated through.
Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Serve the pizza dogs warm and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for added flavor.
