Egg Salad Topped Hot Dogs

Egg salad on a hot dog sounds like something someone invented out of necessity and then refused to stop making because it turned out to be the best decision they ever made. STACKED Garlic Spicy Pickle just made it a movement.

Creamy dill pickle egg salad. Charred all-beef hot dog. Toasted bun. This is the cookout build that nobody saw coming and everybody needs to try.

Plan ahead: the egg salad needs at least 20 minutes in the fridge, and one to two hours is better.

Warning

• Twelve minutes exactly for the hard boil produces a yolk that is fully set but not chalky, and that distinction matters more than most people realize until they get it right.
• The ice bath is not optional. It stops the cooking and makes peeling significantly easier, and anyone who skips it is making their own life harder for no reason.
• Cold egg salad on a hot charred hot dog is a temperature contrast that works in a specific and excellent way, so do not let the egg salad warm up before assembly.
• STACKED Garlic Spicy Pickle running down through chilled egg salad into a charred beef casing is a flavor sequence that builds from savory to tangy to heat, and it does not stop.
• This is the hot dog that makes everyone at the cookout stop what they are doing and ask what you put on it. You will say egg salad and STACKED, and walk away.

Bring these to the cookout. Tell no one in advance. Let the plate speak first.
