STUFFED BAGUETTE WITH GOAT -CREAM CHEESE FILLING

STUFFED BAGUETTE WITH GOAT-CREAM CHEESE FILLING

I am throwing a small holiday cheer party and began to think of ideas of food to serve. This is a great premade appetizer and it serves allot.

I decided to make this to take to a friend’s home we are spending the night with in NYC to serve with a bit of the bubbly before we all head to dinner!

 CHEERS TO THE HOLIDAY SEASON BEGINNING!

 1 Baguette about 14-inch long

2- 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature

8 oz fresh goat cheese

1 large garlic clove, minced

½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper

1/4 cup finely chopped sun dried tomatoes in olive oil

¼ cup finely chopped Kalamata olives

¼ cup finely chopped Spanish olives

2 tbsp chopped finely chives

3 tbsp minced Italian parsley

½ teaspoon Italian seasonings

Freshly ground black pepper

 

 

Take the cheese and place in a mixing bowl and bring to room temperature.

 

 Chop all vegetables and set aside. In mixer blend the cheeses and then add the vegetables and spices and blend well.

Take the bread and carefully hollow out the inside bread with a long knife being careful not to break thru to the outside. 

 

 Stuff the bread with the filling. This takes time and patience. Squeezing lightly on the bread outside to push the filling down.  There will be some leftover which freezes nicely.

Serve on a platter with a couple of pieces sliced and a knife.
