Serves 2-4 Cooking and prep time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
12″ long baguette
Shredded lettuce
Grated carrot
Cucumber slices
and other salad of choice
Mayonnaise
Boiled shreded chicken / tuna / boiled egg / grated cheese etc.
Method
- Cut the ends off the baguette so that they are flat at both ends.
- Then cut the baguette into 2 halves down the middle.
- Using a thin knife hollow out the centre to make a hole in the middle
- Then add your choice of filling into the centre.
- Eat it as it is or cut into slices using a sharp knife, careful not to squeeze all the filling out.
- The removed baguette can be used for other things like bread crumbs, croutons etc.
Alternatively, cut out the middle to make a boat – you can use a fully cooked baguette for a cold filling, but if you would like to have a warm filling, use a part-cooked baguette, which can be filled and cooked in the oven for a further 20 minutes.
Consider:
Shredded chicken, sweetcorn and cheese
Chicken, tikka, mushroom and cheese and other pizza toppings.
Serve with a crunchy salad.
Top Tip:
Spread garlic butter on the pieces that you removed from the inside of the baguette and heat in the oven for 5-10 minutes to make crispy garlic croutons to serve with your salad.
