I'm usually a big fan of hot dogs.Carolina Gazal

After trying out different hot-dog recipes this summer, I found Ina Garten's breakfast version.
The sauce was overwhelmingly mustard-filled, which didn't suit my breakfast palate.

Summer is hot-dog season, and I've used any excuse to whip some up.

They're perfect for an easy lunch or late-night snack, but I was totally intrigued when I came across Ina Garten's breakfast hot-dog recipe.

It seems like anything the Barefoot Contessa touches is gold, so I figured this easy breakfast would be no exception.

I started by gathering the ingredients, most of which I already had.

The sauce took under two minutes to make and was relatively mess-free.

The sauce was too dairy-filled and mustard-y for breakfast.

I overdid it with the toppings.Carolina Gazal

I would've preferred a maple-filled sauce to make it more like chicken and waffles.

After one bite I knew this was not suited for breakfast.Carolina Gazal
