Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay pepperoni slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy. Set aside.
2
Using a meat grinder, grind the hot dogs and the New York strip steak together into a mixing bowl.
3
Gently mix the ground meats together and form into two equal-sized balls.
4
Heat cooking oil on a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the meat balls on the hot surface and smash them into thin patties using a burger press or spatula.
5
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until a good crust forms. Top each patty with sliced mozzarella cheese and place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
6
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped chives. Mix until well combined.
7
Toast the bagel halves. Spread the chive cream cheese on the cut side of both halves.
8
On the bottom bagel, layer one cheesy patty, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and a spoonful of marinara sauce. Repeat with the second patty, more marinara, and top with the crispy pepperoni.
9
Place the top half of the bagel on top, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Grind or finely mince hot dogs into the New York strip steak for even texture; avoid over-mixing, which toughens the meat.
Use a screaming-hot griddle or cast iron skillet when smashing to develop a golden crust in 2-3 minutes per side.
Toast the bagel halves cut-side down in the same skillet after cooking the patties to absorb drippings and prevent sogginess.
Crisp the pepperoni separately in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes per side to ensure it stays crunchy on top of cheese.

Substitutions

Plain bagel → everything bagel or sesame bagel (adds texture and flavor depth)
Chive cream cheese → whipped goat cheese or herb-infused cream cheese (lighter, tangier alternative)
New York strip steak → ribeye or sirloin (slightly fattier or leaner options)
Pepperoni → soppressata or guanciale (different cured pork profiles)
