I wanted a morning breakfast sandwich, but was out of bread. Luckily I had leftover hot dog buns from my all-star game party, so this legendary eggs and hot dog bun recipe was born.
To elevate this simple 'Egg Dog,' consider lightly toasting the hot dog bun first, either in the same skillet with a touch more butter or under a broiler. This adds a delightful textural contrast and warmth. For the egg, ensure your skillet is at a consistent medium heat to prevent overcooking and achieve a tender, fluffy texture, rather than a rubbery one. Season the beaten egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper before cooking. Experiment with different hot sauces or add a slice of melted cheese (like cheddar or American) over the cooked egg while it's still in the pan. A sprinkle of fresh chives or a dash of smoked paprika can also enhance the flavor profile and presentation.
