This Easy Stuffed Baguette recipe is a quick and delicious way to transform a simple baguette into a flavorful, cheesy appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 1 baguette (about 12 inches)

Filling

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (such as mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)
  • 3 tablespoons garlic butter (softened)
  • 1 tablespoon mixed fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, or basil), finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baguette: Slice the baguette lengthwise without cutting all the way through, leaving a hinge so the loaf stays together. This creates a pocket for the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix softened garlic butter with the chopped fresh herbs to infuse the flavor evenly throughout the butter.
  3. Stuff the Baguette: Spread the garlic herb butter generously inside the sliced baguette, ensuring it covers all the inner surfaces. Then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the buttered areas.
  4. Bake: Place the stuffed baguette on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is crisp and golden on the edges.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm for the best gooey and flavorful experience.

Notes

  • Use any cheese blend you prefer for different flavor profiles.
  • You can add extras like sliced tomatoes, olives, or cooked bacon for more variety.
  • If you want a crunchier crust, broil the baguette for the last 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Always use fresh herbs for the best aroma and taste.
