How to Make Cheese Frankfurters

  1. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Place the frankfurters in the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until heated through and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Reduce the heat to low. Make a small slit lengthwise in each frankfurter, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Spoon the shredded cheese into the slits of the frankfurters.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  6. Serve immediately on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.
