Ingredients

Scale
For the Baguette Treats:
- 1 large baguette (about 12 inches)
- 8 oz deli ham, thinly sliced
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baguette: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, then hollow out the inside to create space for the filling, being careful not to cut all the way through the sides.
- Stuff the Baguette: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard (if using) on the inside of both baguette halves. Layer the ham and mozzarella cheese inside the hollowed-out baguette. Make sure to layer them evenly and stack the cheese so it will melt perfectly.
- Brush with Butter: Place the stuffed baguette halves on a baking sheet. Brush the top of the baguette with melted butter and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Bake: Place the baguette in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the baguette is crispy and golden.
- Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into individual pieces. Garnish with fresh chopped basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can add additional fillings like sautéed onions, spinach, or roasted peppers for more flavor.
- If you prefer, you can substitute the ham with turkey or chicken for a variation.
- Serve with a side of pickles or a light salad for a complete meal.
