- Heat the frankfurters in simmering (not boiling) water for 5-6 minutes, or brown them in a grill pan over medium heat, turning, for 6-8 minutes until nicely marked.

- Toast the buns in a pan or in a 180 °C oven for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is golden and the inside is warm and soft.
- Place a frankfurter in each bun.
- Top with mustard, ketchup, relish, raw or fried onion, and cheese to taste.
- Serve immediately.
