French Hot Dogs
These grilled French Hot Dogs — or Hot-Dog à la Française — are a modern street food you'll spot in boulangeries and train stations all over France. We use a crusty baguette, melted raclette cheese, Dijon mustard, and a grilled sausage, all layered together into one irresistible bite. With just 4 ingredients and almost no prep, you might end up liking these more than the traditional version.
Ingredients
- 4 beef hot dog sausages
- 1 demi baguette
- 4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 cup Raclette cheese (grated)
- ketchup
- green onions
Instructions
- 1
Cut the baguette into 2 sausage-sized pieces, then split each piece open lengthwise. Use a small knife to scoop out a bit of the soft interior from each half, creating a shallow groove for the sausage.
- 2
Spread about 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard inside each baguette piece.

Preheat the grill and lightly brush the grates with cooking spray. Place the sausages on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes flipping halfway, until grill marks appear and the internal temperature reads 165°F.

Place the sausages in the hollowed baguette pieces, top with cheese, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Broil for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese melts. Alternatively, return the hot dogs to the grill and cook a few more minutes until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

Serve immediately topped with ketchup or your favorite condiments.
