Method

  1. 1Griddle the bun cut-side down until toasted.
  2. 2Pipe warm cream cheese along one side.
  3. 3Add the grilled frank.
  4. 4Top with griddled onions and pickled jalapenos.

Tasting notes

Sounds deranged, tastes incredible. The warm cream cheese melts into the toasted bun and the griddled onions go sweet and jammy. The schmear is doing sauce work, full stop.
