Ingredients:
– 2 hotdogs (beef, turkey, or your choice)
– 2 eggs
– 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
– Salt and pepper (to taste)
– 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking)
– Optional: Toast or English muffins for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Hotdogs:
   – Cut the hotdogs into bite-sized pieces or into fun shapes using cookie cutters.

2. Cook the Hotdogs:
   – In a medium skillet, heat the butter or oil over medium heat.
   – Add the hotdog pieces and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are heated through and slightly browned. Set aside.

3. Poach the Eggs:
   – In a separate pot, fill it with water and bring it to a gentle simmer (not boiling) over medium heat.
   – Crack one egg into a small bowl or cup. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide the egg into the center. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the white is set but the yolk is still runny.
   – Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg and let it drain on a paper towel. Repeat with the second egg.

4. Combine Everything:
   – Once both eggs are poached, place the cooked hotdog pieces on a plate.
   – Top with the poached eggs and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top while the eggs are still warm so the cheese melts slightly.
   – Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Serve:
   – Serve on top of toasted bread or English muffins, if desired. Enjoy your Cheese Hotdog Poached Eggs!

Tips:
– Let kids help with cutting the hotdogs (with supervision) or sprinkle cheese on top.
– You can add veggies like diced bell pepper or spinach to the hotdogs for extra nutrition.
