I know what you're thinking--that sounds disgusting! But this was something I grew up eating, and I loved it! It was a Coughlan family breakfast tradition. My brother was also known for eating it as a midnight snack. As a child, my mom would only buy the turkey hotdogs. Eventually she decided it was okay for us to eat pork, but honestly, I prefer the turkey dogs. The original recipe is only eggs and a hotdog sliced up. But for this platter, I changed it up a bit...
A little backstory on the face plate. My old roommate, Lindsay, gave me the plate for Christmas. Pretty much the best gift ever! I forget to use him most of the time, but it's always a blast to make up new faces when I do remember. :) Thanks, Lindsay! Maybe some day my imaginary children will use it.

Egg Hotdog
- 2 eggs
- 1 turkey dog
- grated cheese
- smoked paprika
- salt
- pepper
Turn burner on medium-low. Spray a small skillet with a non-stick cooking spray. Cut the turkey dog into slices. Place slices in skillet. Let cook for a minute or two. While the turkey dog is cooking, crack eggs into a bowl. Scramble. Add salt and pepper. Pour eggs over turkey dog slices in skillet. Cook until eggs are almost done. Sprinkle with cheese and smoked paprika. After eggs are cooked, place strategically on a face plate. If you don't have a face plate, use eggs to make a face on a regular plate.
