The Best Hot Diggity Chilidog image

Okay, I made this awesome hotdog chili, so I needed an awesome hotdog to go along with it... A good chilidog needs several things, and all in the right combination, to be successful... and one of those important things is the bun. In that respect, I think that I've come up with a good solution. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Number Of Ingredients 9

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 small baguette (i prefer ciabatta)
1 tablespoon(s) sweet butter, unsalted, melted
2 slice(s) provolone cheese
1 large kosher hotdog
1 slice(s) prosciutto ham
- mustard, yellow or brown, your choice
1/4 cup(s) hot chili sauce
1/4 cup(s) coleslaw

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • Gather your ingredients.
  • Cut the baguette to a length slightly shorter than the hotdog.
  • Chef's Note: I like a bit of hotdog sticking out each end... But, that's just me.
  • Cut a section off each side of the baguette, lengthwise.
  • Cut a trough down through the middle of the baguette, about the thickness of the hotdog, but be careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Scoop out the middle section to make the trough.
  • Brush the melted butter on the bottom and two cut sides.
  • Place in a small pan, over, medium heat.
  • Toast the bottom and the two sides, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Remove from pan, and place the provolone cheese into the trough.
  • Roll the hotdog in the prosciutto ham, and place into the pan, seam-side down.
  • Cook over medium heat, rolling the dog in the pan, until the hotdog is hot, and the ham begins to crisp, about 3 - 5 minutes.
  • Add the hotdog to the baguette.
  • Add the chili.
  • Add some mustard.

  • Top with the coleslaw.
  • PLATE/PRESENT

  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
