Cooked on the Arteflame Grill

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

4 hot dog buns
4 quarter-pound beef franks
3 yellow onions
2 Tbs fresh thyme leaves
1 bag beefy onion soup mix
1 cup sour cream
8 oz Gruyere cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Onion Sour Cream Mix:

Prepare and Cook the Onions:

- Heat up the Arteflame plancha to medium heat. Oil the plancha and add the sliced onions.
- Grill for about 20 minutes, flipping frequently, until caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.
Grill the Beef Franks:
- Score a light criss-cross pattern on both sides of the beef franks.
- Place the franks on the plancha and grill, turning occasionally until cooked through.
Melt the Cheese on Onions:
- Once the onions are caramelized, divide them into four piles on the plancha.
- Season each pile with fresh thyme leaves.
- Sprinkle 2 oz of shredded Gruyere cheese over each onion pile.
- Cover with a dome or lid until the cheese is melted.
Assemble the Hot Dogs:
- Spread the onion/sour cream mixture inside each bun.
- Place a grilled beef frank in each bun.
- Carefully lift each onion and cheese pile from the plancha and place on top of the beef franks.
Serve:
- Serve the gourmet hot dogs immediately and enjoy the unique combination of flavors.
