9 ridiculous things people make with frankfurters
A can of frankfurters is always in the pantry, everyone likes them, they’re warm and ready to eat in no time – and in desperate times you can even slide one or two down cold. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, the frankfurter can handle anything. Anything? We have our doubts about these dishes.
Frankfurters wrapped in ham and cheese, rolled through some beaten egg, then breadcrumbs, egg again, breadcrumbs again and into the deep fryer. There you have a snack to chase away the worst hangover. Some people even claim that a frankfurter pancake is delicious, frankfurter toasties are the ideal Friday afternoon drinks snack and that a Brussels sprout casserole with frankfurters is perfectly edible. But shall we just leave it at that?
No, because people also see the frankfurter as their best friend at dinner.
9 ridiculous things people make with frankfurters
From nasi with frankfurters to frankfurter muffins, be inspired (or don’t).
Nasi with frankfurters
Some leftover cooked rice, a few tasty spices (or a packet of Conimex seasoning, whatever) and perhaps some frozen peas. The frankfurters are sliced into this nasi improvisation, and we wish you strength. It’ll be on the table in no time, at least.
Frankfurter in a mini croissant
A classic at the children’s Christmas party at primary school: mini frankfurters in croissant dough. Yes, the ones from a can. Take it to the next level by first wrapping the mini frankfurter in a slice of bacon, adding some of that plastic-wrapped processed cheese, and we have a winner.
Frankfurter salad
According to its creators, a ‘Chicago hot dog without the bun’. How can you resist? Iceberg or romaine lettuce, whichever you fancy, is mixed with raw onion, green peppers, tomato and pickle. Add pieces of frankfurter and finish it with a honey-mustard dressing. Enjoy!
Chili con carne pizza frankfurter situation
A confusing combination of ready-made pizza dough, chili con carne, frankfurter in the crust and plenty of grated cheese. Who knows?
Frankfurter muffin
Savory muffins with a frankfurter inside – and then dip them in sriracha. That’s some delicious out-of-the-box thinking!
Mac&cheese with frankfurters
Make your old trusted mac&cheese and add pieces of frankfurter. So simple, so erm… tasty?
Frankfurter tacos
To be fair: the American creator of this snack uses chili dogs, which taste considerably spicier than regular frankfurters. But don’t panic, because our supermarkets also sell spicy frankfurters, and they’re certainly hot enough! Add some guacamole and you’ll be covered for vitamins too.
Super-crispy frankfurter croissant
Who’s going to try it? Frankfurters with a little cheese in croissant dough—so far, we can follow along. But then those croissants get an extra-crispy layer of crushed tortilla chips. What?
Polynesian sweet-and-sour vegetables with frankfurters
Buy some ready-made sweet-and-sour sauce, stir-fry traffic-light peppers and pieces of pineapple, add frankfurters and simmer in the sauce. Serve with white rice and voilà, you’ve cooked a Polynesian dish. That saves you the cost of a plane ticket, because if this is Polynesian cuisine, we don’t need to go there.
