Stuffed loaf - 7 recipes for the oven and microwave

Cooking rules

To prepare a stuffed loaf, you can use baked goods made from white or black flour. The choice of option is a matter of taste. It is convenient to use French baguettes; they make excellent “cups” with filling.

Preparing the loaf involves removing most of the crumb and putting the filling in its place. The filling options are varied. This could be meat fare, prepared meat products (for example, ham), fish, vegetables. You can use several types of fillings, combined with each other and lay them in layers.

The stuffed loaf can be served just like that, or baked. Most often, they use the oven, but you can prepare this dish in the microwave. The loaf is usually served warm, but the cooled snack will be very tasty.

Interesting facts: in the Middle Ages, stale bread was used instead of plates, and food was laid out in pieces. And when the bread “plates” were empty, they were sure to eat them too.

Stuffed loaf baked in the oven

This is a hot version of the snack; the stuffed loaf is baked in the oven. Serve immediately piping hot.

• 1 loaf;
• 200 gr. chicken fillet;
• 200 gr. smoked ham or sausage;
• 1 tomato;
• 100 gr. hard cheese;
• a little vegetable oil for lubrication.

We cut off the top part of the loaf; it will serve as a lid, so we cut off a layer that is not too thick.

We select the crumb from the remaining part of the loaf, we should get a “boat” with walls about 1 cm thick

Advice! The crumb is not used in this recipe, but there is no need to throw it away. It can be dried and crushed to prepare breadcrumbs, or used to add minced meat to cutlets.

Cook the chicken fillet in advance. By the time it is cooked, it should have cooled down so that you can cut without burning your fingers. Cut the boiled fillet and smoked ham into equal cubes. Remove the skin from the tomato, remove the seeds, and chop the pulp very finely. Grate hard cheese. Set aside about a third of the grated cheese; we will use it for sprinkling.

Mix the reserved cheese with tomatoes, ham and chicken fillet, mix. Salting, as a rule, is not required; the salt contained in the products is enough. But you can pepper it. Fill the loaf with filling, cover with the “lid” left earlier, that is, the cut off top. Sprinkle the “lid” with grated cheese. Bake in the oven until the cheese melts. Serve hot, cut into portions.

With carrots

What you need to take:

• 200 g baguette;
• 3 carrots;
• 3 cloves of garlic;
• 100 g cheese;
• 70 g mayonnaise;
• salt;
• paprika.

How to do:

1. Grate carrots and hard cheese.
2. Grind the garlic using a press.
3. Combine carrots, cheese and garlic, coat with mayonnaise, add salt and ground paprika to taste, mix.
4. Cut the baguette into slices and put the prepared mixture on them. If desired, baguette pieces can be lightly fried in a frying pan, in a toaster, or dried in the oven.
