Cheese types

 
 
Cheese and hot dogs, two key ingredients in preparing a cheese dog

In the United States, sliced or grated cheese, such cheddar or American cheese,[2] is commonly used, often served melted on the hot dogs. The use of other types of cheese also occurs, such as cream cheese[3] and Swiss cheese.[4][5][6] The cheese may be on the bun, on the wiener, processed inside the hot dog, or placed in the middle of a hot dog that has been sliced in half.[7]

Bread types

Traditional hot dog buns are typically used. Slices of toast are also used sometimes, or just plain bread.

Variations

Carolina dog

A Carolina dog[8][9] may include or have a piece of cheese inserted in the middle of the weiner. Sometimes a large chunk of cheese is substituted for the hot dog altogether.[citation needed]

Coney dog

Cheeses are also often served on chili dogs. An example includes the "Cincinnati Coney" which uses shredded cheddar cheese.[10][11][11]

Francheezie

 
A danger dog with cheese

In Chicago there is a variation of the danger dog called the Francheezie. Typically found at "greasy spoon" restaurants, it consists of a jumbo hot dog split in the middle and filled with Cheddar cheese (or Velveeta). It is wrapped in bacon and deep-fried, then served on a toasted bun.[12][13]

Macaroni and cheese dog

Another variation is a hot dog topped with macaroni and cheese.[14][15]

Reuben dog

A reuben dog can consist of a hot dog topped with ingredient combinations such as corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing.[7]

Seattle dog

A Seattle-style hot dog, sometimes referred to as a "Seattle Dog,"[16] is a hot dog topped with cream cheese that has become popular in Seattle, Washington.[17][18]

Swiss-style cheese dogs

A Swiss schnauzer is a regional variation consisting of a bratwurst served with Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. In San Diego, California, a Swiss-style hot dog called a "Swiener" is prepared with a hot dog and Raclette cheese stuffed inside of hollowed-out baguette bread.[19]
