Baguette with tuna and herb cream cheese filling

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 white bread stick(s), fresh
• 1 can tuna, marinated in water
• 250 g cream cheese with herbs
• 150 g onion(s) (fried onions)
• 200 g Cheddar cheese, in one piece
• 1 jar of pickled red peppers or 1 fresh red pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Preheat the oven to 180-200°C. Cut the baguette open so that the top part of the bread can be replaced later as a lid. Hollow out the bread. Drain the tuna and mix it with the herb cream cheese, then stir in the fried onions. Drain the pickled bell peppers and place a layer on the bottom of the hollowed-out bread. Spread the tuna, herb cheese, and fried onion mixture on top. Slice the Cheddar cheese and place it on the tuna mixture. Replace the lid. Place the baguette on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Be careful, as you don’t want the bread to brown; you just want it to warm up and the cheese to melt. Then remove it and cut it open. The lid should have firmly bonded to the bread again thanks to the cheese. This recipe also tastes good with fresh bell peppers.
