Or how to make a great impression at the table by serving a spectacular and tasty appetizer in a few simple steps
What we propose in this article is a starter very clever that can be prepared in many ways starting from one baguette.
The baguette, or it loaf, is the protagonist of this very versatile recipe that you can modify with the ingredients you prefer.
What we want to achieve is one stuffed baguette without being cut in half.
The choice of bread
The most important thing to do is to choose the right type of bread: a baguette not too crunchy on the outside, absolutely fresh from the day and soft. This step is very important because the baguette will have to be cut only at both ends, emptied in the center to remove the crumb and then stuffed with a soft and creamy filling. Above all, it must not break!
Once full, rests wrapped in foil in the refrigerator until ready to be served in slices.
The great thing about these slices is that they will have an outer bread frame and the filling concentrated only in the center.
How to make the baguette filled with tuna: the recipe
Proceed to empty the baguette as already explained.
Gently remove the crumb so as not to break the outer crust.
Separately mix 200 g of tuna in oil, 100 g of spreadable cheese, 50 g of pitted green olives, 50 g of pitted black olives and 50 g of mixed pickles.
Also add a part of the crumb to make the filling more compact and then stuff the baguette with the help of a spoon first from one end towards the center and then from the other end towards the center.
Wrap everything with aluminum foil or cling film and leave in the refrigerator to rest for about an hour.
Cut the baguette into slices thick enough otherwise they could break and place them on a serving tray as if they were canapés. Decorate them with capers, if you like them.
Vegetable version
If you don't want to use tuna or cold cuts, you can mix it with the cheese grilled vegetables and if you want a softer filling replace the spreadable cheese with the mascarpone cheese.
For a lighter version opt for the ricotta cheese.
Stuffed baguette sweet version
This is a easy dessert, perfect to prepare even a little in advance and with very few ingredients.
We suggest a filling with ricotta, chocolate chips and candied fruit, always with the addition of a little bread crumbs.
But you can also choose a greedy variant based on mascarpone and Nutella, or one at the fruit which is prepared by mixing spreadable cheese, mascarpone or ricotta with sugar, or honey, and red fruits.
Stuffed loaf
If you love the idea of stuffed bread as an appetizer, you can also try it with classic loaf, stuffed, but then heated in the oven.
With a serrated knife cut the surface without reaching the base and drawing a grid.
Put inside the cuts cheeses and cold cuts and then bake at 200 ° for 10 minutesjust long enough to melt the cheese.
The stuffed loaf should be placed in the center of the table to be consumed directly with the hands by all the diners.
