Instructions

1. Mince the garlic finely in a food processor and split it between two small bowls.
2. Mix melted butter and salt into one bowl of garlic until well combined, then set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, toss the cheddar, mozzarella, jalapeños and the other bowl of garlic until the garlic coats the cheese and jalapeños evenly. Set aside.
4. Score each hot dog diagonally on all sides with a sharp knife, about ¼ inch deep.
5. Heat a large griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the hot dogs, turning occasionally, for 5–7 minutes, until browned and crispy at the edges. Remove and set aside.
6. Brush the garlic butter inside and outside each bun, setting aside 3 teaspoons for later. Place a cooked hot dog in each bun and pack the cheese mixture tightly on top.
7. Spread 1 teaspoon of the reserved garlic butter evenly on the griddle over medium heat. Quickly place the hot dogs cheese-side down and cook 3–4 minutes, until the cheese melts into a golden brown, crispy crust. Repeat with the remaining garlic butter and hot dogs in batches.
