🥄 Texture
Tender, al dente pasta coated in a rich, velvety hollandaise with gooey melted cheese. Hot dog rounds add a slightly springy, chewy bite while the baked top forms a thin, golden, slightly crisp crust.
👃 Aroma
Buttery, eggy notes from the hollandaise dominate, rounded by warm, smoky, savory scents from the hot dogs and melted cheese. A faint sharpness from the mustard and a hint of lemon lift the overall aroma.
🍷 Pairs Well With
Crisp pilsner or lager, or a dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc; for non-alcoholic, sparkling water with lemon or an iced citrus tea.
🥗 Side Dishes
Bright green salad with lemon vinaigrette, quick-pickled vegetables or dill pickles to cut richness, and roasted or steamed broccoli; garlic bread if you want extra starch.
