Mortadella And Mozzarella Baguette Recipes

TOMATO, MOZZARELLA AND BASIL BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In the bowl of a food processor, add drained tomatoes, 1 cup basil leaves, olive oil and 2 cloves garlic. Pulse until smooth, but somewhat chunky. Season with salt and pepper.
• On a baking sheet, line up baguette slices. Toast in oven for about 3 minutes or until light golden brown. Working quickly, rub the remaining garlic on the toasted side of each slice and then lay a piece of mozzarella cheese on top. Place bread back in oven and melt cheese slightly, about 45 seconds. Remove from oven and spread one tablespoon of the tomato mixture on each piece.
• Place bruschetta on decorative platter and garnish with basil leaves.

MOZZARELLA AND BASIL WITH MARINARA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In shallow 2-quart casserole, place cheese cubes. Sprinkle with basil. Spoon marinara sauce around cheese.
• Bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly. Serve with baguette slices.

MOZZARELLA BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Heat broiler.
• Mix oil and garlic. Brush both sides of bread slices lightly with oil mixture. Place on baking sheet. Broil 1 to 2 min. on each side or until lightly toasted on both sides.
• Cover each toast slice with 1 cheese slice; top evenly with tomatoes.
• Broil, 4 inches from heat, 1 to 2 min. or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with oregano.

TOMATOES MUSHROOMS AND MOZZARELLA BAGUETTE PIZZA

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat oil at medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, mushroom, salt, italian herbs and pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 6 minutes or until mushrooms are golden.
• Put slices of baguette on a baking sheet and sprinkle them with half the cheese. Spread on the slices of bread 1/2 cup of basil leaves, the mixture of mushrooms and tomatoes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Cook in a preheated oven of 400 F for 10 minutes or until cheese has melted. Cut remaining basil leaves in fine strips and sprinkle on hot pizzas.

MOZZARELLA & SALAMI PICNIC BAGUETTE

Steps:

• Slice the baguette in half lengthways and hollow out (make crumbs from the bread centre and save for another recipe). Spread the bottom half with the pesto. Slice the tomato and layer it over the pesto. Slice the mozzarella and add in a layer over the tomato.
• Finish with layers of spinach and basil, plus the salami, folded in half if necessary to fit the width of the baguette.
• Wrap in baking parchment, tie with string and pop in the fridge weighted under something heavy (we used a hefty griddle pan). Leave for at least 1 hr (or overnight if you like). The flavours will mingle and the sandwich will flatten down, making it a doddle to cut up without all the ingredients falling out all over your picnic rug.

TOMATO BASIL MOZZARELLA MELT

Steps:

• Place 6 Sister Schuberts Mini Baguettes on a baking sheet and bake rolls according to directions on package. Cool baguettes.
• Decrease oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Carefully slice each Sister Schuberts Mini Baguette in half horizontally. Spread one side of each baguette with pesto. Continue to layer with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap each sandwich in a large piece of aluminum foil, place packages on baking sheet and bake 7 to 10 minutes or until sandwiches are warm and the cheese has melted. Unwrap sandwiches, open and add fresh basil leaves. Serve.
