Ingredients
1 large fresh French baguette or long crusty sub roll
2 jumbo premium beef hot dogs or smoked sausages
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for that perfect cheese pull
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons diced white onions
1 tablespoon yellow mustard or spicy brown mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Carefully slice the top of the baguette lengthwise, creating a deep “V” shaped trench without cutting all the way through the bottom.
Lightly toast the hollowed-out baguette in the oven for 3 minutes to ensure the bread stays crunchy once the toppings are added.
Place the hot dogs inside the bread cavity, ensuring they fit snugly from end to end.
Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and brush the exterior of the bread and the edges of the opening.
Top the hot dogs with diced onions, mustard, and a generous layer of the blended cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
How to Make
Ensure your baguette is fresh but firm enough to hold the toppings without collapsing.
Score the hot dogs lightly to help them cook evenly and absorb flavor.
Stuff cheese deep into the bread to prevent sogginess.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
Broil for 60 seconds for an extra crispy top if desired.
Garnish with fresh parsley immediately after baking.
Variations
Chili Cheese Style: Add beef chili under the cheese.
Spicy Jalapeño: Add jalapeños and sriracha mayo for heat.
Bacon Wrapped: Wrap hot dogs with bacon before baking.
BBQ Onion: Use barbecue sauce and caramelized onions.
Tips
Use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar for best texture and flavor.
Use a long baguette and slice after baking for serving a crowd.
