Notes
- Make sure to slice the hot dog buns in half lengthwise, as this will make them easier to coat with the egg mixture, and also cook evenly in the skillet.
- Use a large skillet when cooking these, so you have enough room for all your buns at once and can keep an even heat throughout cooking.
- Whisk together all of the egg mixture ingredients until well combined, as this ensures that each bun is properly coated with flavor before being cooked.
- Use stale hot dog buns for the best results as this will help them hold their shape and won’t get soggy as quickly when cooked.
- Your French Toast is done when it is golden brown on each side and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Use a generous amount of butter or cooking spray in your skillet as this will help the French toast brown nicely without sticking or burning during cooking.
