This egg and hot dog sausage sandwich is like a play on toad in a hole, except that the bread is filled with both eggs and sliced hog dogs, along with ketchup and mustard. It makes a delicious hot lunch when you are looking for something other than your standard sandwich.
To make the egg and hot dog sausage sandwich, you remove the centre of the bread before placing it in a hot pan with butter and filling the hollow with sliced hot dogs, eggs, salt, and pepper. Then, you top it with cheese, ketchup, and mustard before adding the bread cutouts on top to seal the fillings. Once golden on both sides, the sandwiches are then ready to serve, all piping hot with steaming eggs, oozing cheese, and golden toast.
What is an Egg and Hot Dog Sausage Sandwich?
An egg and hot dog sausage sandwich is similar to toad in a hole, which is toast filled with an egg. Except in the case of this recipe, the toast is filled with hot dog slices, eggs, ketchup, and mustard for something that is savory and hearty.
Pro Tips
- Rolling the cutouts of bread out with a rolling pin will give you more surface area, helping you adequately cover the fillings.
- Feel free to use any cheese slices that you prefer such as mozzarella, provolone, Swiss, or white cheddar.
- Keep an eye on the level of heat in the pan to prevent the toasts from burning.
- If you don’t want to use white bread, you could use whole wheat bread instead.

How to Store the Egg and Hot Dog Sausage Sandwich
This sandwich is best enjoyed as soon as it is made and hot out of the pan. However, you can store it in a covered container in the fridge if needed and it should stay fresh for up to 2 or 3 days. When reheating it, you can place it in the oven or an air fryer which will help re-toast the bread while heating the eggs through.
