Seattle hot dog with cream cheese and caramelized onions

Cut the hot dogs lengthwise halfway, making sure they remain in one piece. Slice the red onion into thin rings.

Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the onion with a pinch of salt, and caramelize over low heat until golden brown.

Meanwhile, grill or pan-fry the hot dogs on all sides until nicely browned. Lightly toast the hot dog buns on their cut sides.
