Ingredients
  

4 high-quality beef hot dogs

4 gourmet hot dog buns

6 slices of thick-cut bacon

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: avocado slices and fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

    Prepare the BLT Spread: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

      Cook the Hot Dogs: Grill or pan-fry the hot dogs according to your preference until heated through and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

        Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill or in a toaster until crisp and warm.

          Assemble the Hot Dogs: Spread a generous amount of the BLT mayonnaise on the inside of each bun. Place a hot dog in each bun.

            Add the Toppings: Layer with shredded romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and a few slices of crispy bacon.

              Garnish (optional): Add avocado slices and fresh basil on top for an extra gourmet touch.

                Serve: Enjoy your Gourmet BLT Hot Dogs immediately while warm, accompanied by your favorite side dishes.
