A delightful stuffed baguette recipe with a creamy and savory filling, perfect for any occasion.
Slice the baguette lengthwise and hollow out the inside, leaving a shell about half an inch thick.
Save the removed bread for breadcrumbs or another recipe.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, milk, and basil until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Mix the ham, pistachios, mustard, and mayonnaise in another bowl until well combined.
Chop the ham finely for a more even texture.
Spread the creamy base evenly on the inside of the baguette.
Use a spoon to ensure even coverage.
Fill the baguette with the savory filling, packing it slightly to ensure it's full.
Press gently to avoid breaking the baguette.
Wrap the stuffed baguette tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Refrigeration helps the flavors meld together.
Slice the baguette diagonally into serving pieces and arrange on a platter.
Use a sharp knife for clean slices.
