Egg and Corn Hot Dog

Hi Friends, 
Whenever the name Hot dog comes in your mind we always think of sausages served in the bun, topped with mustard, tomato and mayo.... 

 But its not necessary to have it with sausages, you can make your own varieties of filling for hot dog at home . Veg and non-veg both are made easily at home. Keep experimenting with the fillings of your own choice.

Serve them in Breakfast or as Tea snack. Its a all time favourite snack of kids, you can send them in their snack box too.

Ingredients:

• 2 hot dog buns
• 1 hard boiled egg (chopped)
• 1/2 onion (finely chopped)
• 5 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup milk + 1/4 cup water
• 1 tbsp all purpose flour (Maida)
• 1/2 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
• 1/4 tsp pepper powder
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• A pinch of sugar
• Salt acc.taste

Garnish: Pizza Cheese (Grated)

Method:

• Heat 2 tbsp of butter in a non-stick pan. Add onion, saute till they become golden pink in colour.

• Add maida, saute again till maida becomes light brown in colour.

• Now add milk and water mixture. Keep stirring to avoid lump formation.

• Add corn and chopped hard boiled egg. Mix well.

• Add pepper powder, sugar, oregano and salt. Mix nicely.

• Remove from fire.
• Make slit on the buns, apply little butter inside the bun.
• Now stuff each bun with the corn-egg filling.
• Sprinkle the cheese on the top.

• Place them in a baking tray and bake them on 180 C temp for 5-6 mins (till cheese melts).
• Remove from oven, Serve hot.

Note: I used hard boil egg, instead of egg you can use crumbled cottage cheese (Paneer)
