Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Greens
- 1 cup finely diced mushrooms
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 bag (10 oz) baby spinach
- 3 green onions, sliced
- Fresh basil or parsley, torn for garnish
Cheeses
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for topping
Other Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 baguette, hollowed out
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté mushrooms until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Cook Spinach: Add baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
- Combine Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms and spinach with cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, chopped artichoke hearts, and sliced green onions.
- Season Mixture: Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring well until the filling is creamy and evenly mixed.
- Prepare Baguette: Slice the top off the baguette in a V-shape and carefully remove most of the inner bread to create a hollow cavity for the filling.
- Fill Baguette: Spoon the cheesy vegetable mixture evenly into the hollowed baguette, pressing gently to fill all spaces.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: Mix the melted butter with minced garlic, then brush this garlic butter generously over the top of the filled baguette.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the baguette to add a savory golden crust when baked.
- Bake: Place the stuffed baguette on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then garnish with torn fresh basil or parsley. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling mixture.
- To make it easier to hollow out the baguette, slightly stale bread works better than very fresh bread.
- This stuffed baguette is best served warm but can be refrigerated and reheated the next day.
- If you prefer, substitute the mozzarella or cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese blend.
- Vegetarian-friendly and can be adapted for gluten-free by using a gluten-free baguette alternative.
