FAQs

Can I prepare this stuffed baguette in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the baguette ahead of time and keep it refrigerated. Bake it fresh just before serving to maintain the best texture and flavor.

Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

Frozen spinach can be used if fresh is not available. Be sure to thaw and squeeze out excess moisture before sautéing to prevent a soggy filling.

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the finely diced mushrooms until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Cook Spinach: Add the baby spinach to the skillet with the mushrooms and cook until the spinach wilts, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Then remove the skillet from heat.

  4. Season and Mix: Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir the mixture thoroughly until creamy and well blended.
  5. Prepare Baguette: Slice the top off the baguette in a V-shape and carefully hollow out most of the inner bread, leaving just a sturdy shell to hold the filling.
  6. Fill Baguette: Stuff the hollowed baguette generously with the cheesy vegetable mixture, ensuring an even fill.
  7. Prepare Garlic Butter: Mix melted butter with minced garlic, then brush this garlic butter evenly over the top of the filled baguette.
  8. Add Parmesan Topping: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the garlic buttered top for an extra layer of flavor and a golden crust.
  9. Bake: Place the filled baguette on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
