  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.
• 
  5

  Cut a section off each side of the baguette, lengthwise.
• 
  6

  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.
• 
  8

  Brush the melted butter on the bottom and two cut sides.
•

  Place in a small pan, over, medium heat.
• 
  10

  Toast the bottom and the two sides, about 2 minutes per side.
• 
  11

  Remove from pan, and place the provolone cheese into the trough.
• 
  12

  Roll the hotdog in the prosciutto ham, and place into the pan, seam-side down.
• 
  13

  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.
