Based on a classic
The warming flavour of French Onion soup is something you cannot beat, especially on a cold day. We all know the comforting taste, just thinking about the irresistible sweet onion flavour mixed with cheese and buttery bread is making our mouths water. So we thought, why not extract these heart warming flavours and add them to a hot dog.
Extra Cheesy Dog
Obviously the main flavour within French Onion soup is onion, followed closely by cheese. Therefore it was an easy choice when picking which frankfurter should be paired with these toppings. So, the Cheese Frankfurter was the clear winner, the swiss Emmental cheese adds an extra cheesy element to the already fabulous French onion toppings.
