For many people, the hot dogs are perfect as they are. It doesn’t get better than a sausage snuggled inside of a bun and topped with your favorite condiments. But what if we told you that hot dogs can get even better if you swap a regular hot dog bun with a croissant?
While it may sound controversial, using a croissant as a hot dog bun is a game changer. Juicy grilled or boiled sausage paired with crispy, buttery, and flaky pastry will surprise your taste buds and leave them asking for more.
Wondering how to try this unusual but delicious pairing? Here are two simple methods.
Store-Bought Croissant
If you want to try out this variation without putting too much effort into it, get a store-bought croissant. Simply slice it open like you would slice a hot dog bun and place a grilled or boiled sausage inside. Top with mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, or other condiments of your choosing, and dig in. You can make it even tastier by warming up the croissant before assembling the hot dog.
Croissant Dough
For a homemade version of croissant hot dog, you can use croissant dough. Simply wrap it up around the sausage and bake according to packaging instructions. This will result in a more decadent version of pigs in a blanket and offers you more opportunity to experiment with additions like cheese.
