Cheesy Garlic Stuffed Baguette
Warm whole-grain baguette partially sliced and stuffed with feta, fresh parsley, oregano and mashed garlic, then oven-baked until melty. A quick Mediterranean-inspired appetizer or snack that comes together in about 35 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 whole grain baguette
- 4 cloves garlic mashed
- feta cheese cut into thin 0.5-1 cm slices
- ½ bunch parsley
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Take a piece of parchment paper large enough to wrap the bread and soak it in water. Crumple it, then wring it out. It just needs to be damp.
- Place the bread on the wet parchment paper.
- Add the parsley, oregano, mashed garlic and olive oil to a bowl and mix well.
- Partially slice the bread, cutting most of the way down but not all the way through.
- Brush the bread with the herb and garlic paste, then tuck the cheese between the slices.
- Wrap the bread in the wet parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, partially unwrap it and leave it in the oven for 5-7 more minutes.
- Serve this cheesy stuffed bread steaming hot!
Notes
Slightly stale, day-old bread holds the filling better than ultra-fresh. Block feta packed in brine melts more creamily than pre-crumbled. For a vegan version, swap the feta for a plant-based cheese.
