I recently stumbled across the superbly named Cooking for Assholes blog. Their version of a Jersey Breakfast Dog is a perfect early morning tailgating food. A traditional Jersey Dog features a deep fried bacon wrapped hot dog with an egg on top. To make it easier for tailgating, we’ll pan fry the hot dog and bacon. Just throw two pans on the grill and you can cook these to order all morning.

Jersey Breakfast Dog Recipe

Ingredients:

Hot Dog
Hot Dog Bun
Egg
Mayonnaise
Hot Sauce
Provolone
Bacon
Vegetable Oil
Ground Pepper

Directions

Cut a piece of bacon in half and wrap it around the hot dog. Heat a pan to medium heat with just a little oil. Turn the dog every minute or so until both the dog and bacon are thoroughly cooked. At the same time use a second heated and oiled pan to fry an egg. It’s actually better to spread the yolk out a little more than usual, so that you have a flatter product. Drop a slice of provolone, some pepper, and a couple drops of hot sauce on the egg after you’ve flipped it and it’s almost done. Then fold the egg over on itself so it’s narrow enough to fit on a hot dog bun. Lightly toast a bun, add mayo to the sides, then throw the dog and egg in. Have a Bloody Mary or Mimosa and look forward to a full day of football.
