Ingredients- 5 Morning Buns
- 5 Vienna Sausages
- 2 Slices of Cheese (e.g., Cheddar or Mozzarella)
- Ketchup, to taste
- Mayonnaise, to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all your ingredients. You’ll need the morning buns, Vienna sausages, sliced cheese, ketchup, and mayonnaise. Having everything ready in one place makes the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Score the Vienna sausages with a knife in a criss-cross pattern. Then, briefly blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. This step helps remove excess oil and additives, resulting in a cleaner flavor. After blanching, pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Carefully make a slit down the center of each morning bun. Be gentle to avoid cutting all the way through. The slit should be deep enough to hold the sausage. The key is to keep one side of the bun connected.
Step 4
Insert a slice of cheese into the slit you made in each morning bun. You can cut the cheese to fit if needed. The cheese will help hold the sausage in place and add a wonderful gooey texture as it melts.
Step 5
Place a blanched Vienna sausage into the slit on top of the cheese in each bun. Ensure the sausage is well-seated so it doesn’t fall out during cooking.
Step 6
While sliced cheese like mozzarella is great, using cheddar cheese can offer a richer, more robust cheese flavor. Feel free to use a mix of cheeses if you prefer! This addition truly enhances the combination of bun, sausage, and cheese.
Step 7
Arrange the prepared sausage buns on the air fryer basket or tray, making sure they have a little space between them. Drizzle mayonnaise over each bun in a zig-zag pattern. Mayonnaise adds moisture and a delightful savory note.
Step 8
Next, add a drizzle of ketchup over the mayonnaise. The sweet and tangy flavor of ketchup perfectly balances the richness of the cheese and sausage. Use it moderately to avoid making the buns too salty.
Step 9
Air fry at 190°C (375°F) for about 5 minutes, or until the buns are lightly golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on them. Enjoy these delicious sausage buns while they are warm!
