Ingredients
  

4 slices of sourdough bread

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

4 hot dogs (beef, pork, chicken, or your choice)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: sliced jalapeños or pickles for extra heat and flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Hot Dogs:

    - Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly score the hot dogs with a knife, making a few shallow cuts to prevent them from bursting while cooking. Grill the hot dogs for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned and heated through, turning occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Mix the Spread:

        - In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.

          Prepare the Bread:

            - Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will be the outside of the sandwich.

              - On the unspread side of two slices, layer the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses generously.

                Add the Hot Dogs:

                  - Cut the grilled hot dogs in half lengthwise and place them over the cheese layer. If desired, add jalapeños or pickles on top of the hot dogs for an extra kick.

                    Assemble the Sandwich:

                      - Top with the remaining two slices of bread, spread side up, to complete the sandwich.

                        Grill the Sandwich:

                          - In a large skillet or griddle, heat the remaining butter over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

                            Serve:

                              - Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them sit for a minute, then slice in half. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or condiments.
