Chef's Note

The key to elevating this hot dog is the homemade relish, which balances sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. For an even more gourmet experience, try using specialty sausages like andouille or bratwurst instead of a traditional hot dog. The relish can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator, improving in flavor over time.

Ingredients

  • 1 large all-beef hot dog

  • 1 bun brioche hot dog bun

  • 1/3 cup bread and butter pickles

  • 1/4 medium red bell pepper

  • 1/4 small red onion

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard

  • 1 tablespoon artisanal ketchup

  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill

  • 1 teaspoon butter

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
  • 1

    Finely dice 1/3 cup of bread and butter pickles, 1/4 medium red bell pepper, and 1/4 small red onion. Place in a small bowl.

  • 2

    Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh dill to the pickle mixture. Season with 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well and set aside to let flavors meld while preparing the hot dog.

  • 3

    Bring a small pot of water to a simmer (not a rolling boil) and add the all-beef hot dog. Simmer for 5 minutes until heated through.

  • 4

    While the hot dog is simmering, melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Place the brioche bun cut-side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  • 5

    Remove the hot dog from the water and pat dry with a paper towel.

  • 6

    Optional: For additional flavor, briefly sear the hot dog in the same skillet used for the bun for 1-2 minutes to create a slight char.

  • 7

    Spread 1 tablespoon of whole grain mustard on one side of the toasted bun and 1 tablespoon of artisanal ketchup on the other side.

  • 8

    Place the hot dog in the prepared bun and top generously with the homemade pickle relish.

  • 9

    Serve immediately while hot.
