Stringy Sandwich Bread Corn Dogs: You Only Need a Few Ingredients for a Delicious Side Dish!

Not everything needs a full grocery cart, a culinary degree, and a minor breakdown to be great. Sometimes, all it takes is bread, cheese, sausages, and a little creative mischief.

This recipe is essentially a cheesy sausage surprise, wrapped in toast, dipped in egg, and rolled in panko. This dish can pass as a fun party appetizer or a late-night comfort snack.

What Exactly Are Stringy Corn Dogs?

While there's no 16th-century cheese-and-toast-on-a-stick manuscript to back this recipe up, it draws inspiration from Korean street food culture. Specifically the wildly creative, breaded and deep-fried cheese-and-sausage combos that have taken the internet by storm.

This is just the simplified, home-kitchen-friendly version that still captures interest with a cheese pull when sliced open.

Pro Tips for The Best Stringy Corn Dogs

• Use sturdy toast bread. Soft sandwich bread will fall apart, so go for the kind that can take a little rolling without turning into a sad, sticky mess.
• Chill the cheese sticks. Cold cheese stretches better and melts slower, giving you that perfect cheese pull before it completely liquifies.
• Seal the roll tightly because loose rolls will leak cheese or unroll mid-fry. Egg is your glue, so use it generously at the edges.
• You can double dip for extra crunch. Simply, dip with egg, panko and repeat the process again.

What’s the Best Cheese to Use?

Mozzarella is your best bet for that stringy pull. Avoid pre-shredded varieties and opt for block cheese or cheese sticks cut to size.

Do I Need Skewers?

Not at all! You can roll these up and fry them as is, skewer-free. But if you're going for party snack vibes or want a less messy finger food option, wooden skewers work great.

What If I Don’t Have Panko?

Regular breadcrumbs will work, but you’ll miss that extra crunch. If you're in a pinch, you can crush up cornflakes or even pretzels for a fun texture swap.

Are These Spicy?

Not unless you want them to be. You can add spice by mixing a bit of chili powder into the egg or serving with a spicy dip on the side.

What Dips Go Well With These?

Ketchup and mustard are classics, but garlic mayo, sriracha-mayo blends, or sweet chili sauce also make fantastic pairings.

How to Store Leftovers

You can refrigerate the corn dogs for 2 days but they are best served fresh. To reheat, use the oven, and don’t microwave unless you're okay with a slightly soggy crust.

How to Make Stringy Corn Dogs

Cut the cheese and sausages into sticks about the same length and set aside.

Cut the crusts off your toast bread. Lightly flatten each slice with a rolling pin or the side of a bottle and brush the edges with beaten egg. Place a stick of cheese and a sausage at one edge of the bread.

Roll up the bread tightly and press the edges to seal, especially where the seam is.

Dip the rolled bread in the beaten egg, making sure it's completely coated.

Roll the egg covered bread in panko breadcrumbs until fully covered.

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, gently place the rolls in the oil and fry, turning occasionally to cook evenly.

Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm on a plate with your favorite dips and get ready to pull some cheese.
