  • Preparation: 15 minutes
  • Cooking: 20 minutes
  • Total: 35 minutes
  • Servings: 4
  • Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

For the filling

  • 1 large baguette
  • 2 cherry tomatoes

  • ¼
  • 100 g mozzarella cheese pieces
  • 1 teaspoon chopped dill
  • ½ teaspoon Italian herb mix

Utensils we will use

  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Bowl or mixing container
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Oven
  • Baking dish or tray

Preparation

1. Prepare the baguette

  1. Cut the baguette: Use a knife to cut the baguette lengthwise, without completely separating the two halves to maintain its shape.
  2. Remove the crumb: Carefully, remove most of the crumb from the inside to make space for the filling, forming a uniform hollow without breaking the crispy crust.

2. Add the initial filling

  1. Cut cherry tomatoes: Cut the tomatoes in halves so they integrate well inside the bread.
  2. Place ingredients: Place half of the tomatoes, half of the ham, and mozzarella cheese inside the baguette, distributing evenly so that each bite has a balanced flavor.

3. Prepare the egg mixture

  1. Beat eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs until they are homogeneous.
  2. Add vegetables and spices: Add the yellow pepper, red onion, chopped dill, salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to integrate all ingredients.

4. Add the egg mixture and complete the filling

  1. Pour mixture: Carefully, pour the egg mixture over the baguette, making sure it covers the inside without spilling out.
  2. Add remaining ingredients: Add the rest of the ham and mozzarella cheese on top for a delicious finish.

5. Bake the stuffed baguette

  1. Preheat oven: Set the oven to 180°C before putting in the baguette.
  2. Bake: Cook the baguette for 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and the egg mixture has completely set.

6. To finish and serve

Remove the baguette from the oven and sprinkle the Italian herb mixture on top to add aroma and a special touch. Serve the baguette hot, accompanied by a fresh salad or some warm asparagus candied with lemon and almonds, which provide an ideal contrast for this delight from the Flavor Bakery and the French Fusion.

I want to share these tips with you

  • Choose a good bread: The quality and texture of the baguette directly affect the flavor, choose a crispy and fresh baguette to enhance the experience.
  • Balanced flavor: Do not overfill to prevent the bread from getting soggy and losing its texture.
  • Control the oven temperature: If the oven is too hot, the baguette may burn on the outside before the inside is ready.
  • Vary the fillings: Try substituting ham with chicken or making a vegetarian version with ingredients like spinach or baby portobello mushrooms, available in this similar recipe for stuffed mushrooms.
  • Presentation: Sprinkle fresh herbs like dill or Italian herb mixture just before serving to enhance aromas and aesthetics.

5 keys to make the Stuffed Baguette perfect

  • Bread quality: The baguette must be fresh to maintain its structure and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Balanced filling: Combine ingredients that provide moisture and flavor, but without saturating the bread.
  • Even distribution: Place the filling and egg mixture evenly so that each portion has the same flavor.
  • Careful cutting: When opening the baguette, do not split it completely to keep the filling inside and the classic shape of the The Golden Baguette.
  • Time and temperature in the oven: Control well so that the cheese gratinates without overcooking.

When is it ideal to enjoy it?

The stuffed baguette is ideal for a quick and nutritious meal at any time of the day. Perfect for a light family dinner or an informal gathering with friends. It also works as a delicious special breakfast or to take on a picnic. Its ease of preparation and versatility make it one of the favorite dishes within Artisan Fillings.
