Ingredients
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1 cup finely diced mushrooms
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 bag (10 oz) baby spinach
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Fresh basil or parsley, torn (for garnish)
Dairy & Cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
- 3 tablespoons butter
Pantry Staples
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 baguette
Instructions
- Prepare the Baguette: Cut the baguette into four equal sections and carefully hollow out the inside of each piece, creating space for the filling while keeping the crust intact.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced mushrooms and cook until softened. Then add the chopped artichoke hearts and baby spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts and the mixture is well combined.
- Mix in Cheeses and Seasonings: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the cheeses melt and the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Baguette Sections: Spoon the warm cheese and vegetable mixture into each hollowed baguette section, packing it evenly. Then slice the stuffed baguette into 1-inch thick pieces to create pull-apart servings.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and add the minced garlic. Allow the garlic to infuse the butter for a couple of minutes, then remove from heat.
- Brush and Bake: Arrange the baguette slices on a baking tray lined with foil. Generously brush the garlic butter over each slice. Wrap the baking tray loosely with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to achieve a golden, crispy top.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the stuffed baguette slices from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and torn fresh basil or parsley. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer.
Notes
- Use a sturdy baguette to ensure it holds the filling without becoming soggy or falling apart.
- The filling can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated for convenience.
- For extra crispness when reheating leftovers, use an air fryer to re-crisp the slices instead of the oven.
