Preparation

Step 1

First cut the onion in half & slice thinly both halves. You will end up with half-moon shaped slices. Throw butter in a frying pan, let it melt before adding onion. Sautee on medium heat for 10 minutes. Now add sugar and mix well. Caramelize for a further 10 minutes or until the onion is nice and brown.
Meanwhile cut the baguette into 4 equal parts (a little bit shorter than your frankfurters). Cut them in half lengthwise.
Prepare the parsley salsa:
Finely chop rinsed parsley. Wash tomatoes and cut them into tiny pieces. In a bowl mix parsley, tomatoes and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to your taste.
Frankfurters & bacon slices:
Cook the frankfurters according to packet instructions. Once ready, transfer them on a grill pan and grill them for a minute or two until they get nice color. Add bacon slices (if you have space in the same pan) and fry until ready.
Now fill each baguette with cheese, parsley salsa, frankfurters and bacon. Top with caramelized onion and grated cheese. Finish it off with ketchup!
Serve while still warm!
