A quick and satisfying keto-friendly hot dog recipe featuring low-carb almond flour and mozzarella buns topped with sautéed onions, crispy bacon, and a tangy mustard mayo sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (150g)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (150g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (30g), melted
  • 4 all-beef hot dogs or preferred sausage (nitrate-free if possible)
  • 4 bacon strips, cooked crispy and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp mustard (yellow or Dijon)
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise (full-fat preferred)
  • 4 pickle slices (optional)
  • Sliced jalapeños (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt the mozzarella cheese: Place shredded mozzarella in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 45 seconds. Stir and heat for another 15-30 seconds until fully melted and stretchy. If using a double boiler, melt slowly over simmering water, stirring constantly.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly.
  4. Mix eggs and melted butter: Whisk the eggs and melted butter together until smooth.
  5. Bring dough together: Quickly add the wet mixture and dry ingredients to the melted mozzarella. Stir with a spatula until a sticky dough forms. It will be stretchy and a little gooey.
  6. Shape the buns: Dust your hands with almond flour and divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a log shape about the length of your hot dogs. Place on the parchment-lined tray, spacing evenly.
  7. Bake buns: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the buns turn golden and feel firm to the touch. Let them cool on a wire rack.
  8. Cook the bacon: While buns bake, fry bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and chop into bits; leave bacon fat in pan.
  9. Sauté onions and garlic: Add sliced onions to the bacon fat and cook for about 5 minutes until soft and caramelized. Toss in minced garlic during the last minute.
  10. Cook hot dogs: In a separate pan, grill or pan-fry the hot dogs until nicely browned and heated through.
  11. Prepare mustard mayo sauce: Mix mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl until creamy and smooth.
  12. Assemble your dirty keto hot dogs: Slice buns open carefully. Place a hot dog inside each bun, then pile on sautéed onions, bacon bits, pickle slices, jalapeños if using, and drizzle with mustard mayo sauce.
  13. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

If buns feel too soft to slice, refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up. Use bacon fat for sautéing onions to add smoky richness. Don’t overbake buns to avoid dryness. Use room temperature eggs for better dough texture. Melt mozzarella fully for proper dough binding. Almond flour is preferred over coconut flour for best texture. Buns can be made ahead and reheated gently. For dairy-free buns, substitute mozzarella with vegan cheese.
