Introduction & history
One of the many variations on the basic hot dog, a cheese dog is a kind of hot dog that includes shredded cheese, usually Cheddar or processed American cheese, that is either melted onto a hot dog, processed into a hot dog, or placed between two halves of a wiener sausage. Other possible cheese options include cream cheese, Swiss cheese, and even Raclette cheese, while other ingredients vary locally and depending on preference. Hot dog buns, which can be either steamed, toasted, or grilled, can be replaced with toast or regular white bread.
