Sarasota's Favorite Stuffed Bread
- 1 baguette, cut lengthwise and lightly hollowed out
- 1 cup kalamata olive, cut in half
- 1 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, diced
- 1 small onion, cut in half and then thin sliced
- 1 (7 ounce) box frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 12 cups feta, just broken up
- 12 teaspoon of the oil from the tomatoes to cook the vegetables
- 3 tablespoons olive oil to brush the inside of the bread
- Prepare the bread -- I like to take a nice baguette and cut in half lengthwise.
- Then hollow out a bit by removing some of the inside breading.
- Not all just to make room for the stuffing or filling.
- Don't throw away the filling -- put in a baggie and freeze.
- Pull out any time and use for a stuffing.
- Makes perfect additions to meatloaf, meatballs, soup, pastas or salads.
- Brush the inside of the bread with olive oil and bake cut side down or you can grill just for 5-7 minutes to lightly brown.
- Just so the filling doesn't get the bread soggy.
- Not long.
- Filling -- Now this is my Greek one.
- But use your favorite.
- I like to add just a little of the oil that comes with the sundried tomatoes in the pan to start the dish, but olive oil or any oil work just fine.
- Diced tomatoes and cook just a minute.
- Now add the spinach, onion, and olives and cook until well combined.
- DONE!
- Stuff -- Just take your filling and stuff the bread.
- MY SECRET!
- -- always layer a small amount of whatever cheese you are using on the bottom and then top with your filling.
- Then top with cheese.
- This keeps the top and bottom of the bread from getting soggy.
- Once wrapped in foil and cooked you will have toasty tops and bottoms, NOT soggy ones.
- Works wonderful.
- I break up the feta and put on the bottom, add the filling.
- I do try to not add any of the liquid, top with cheese and then the top bread.
- Wrap the bread in foil and cook either on the grill 15-20 minutes -- or cook in the oven on 425 for 15-20 minutes as well.
- Make sure you turn it over 1 time during cooking to melt the cheese on the other side.
- NOTE: If it is a hot grill try to cook on a cooler portion of the grill.
- Just enjoy it.
- This goes with anything.
- Steak, pork, chicken or seafood.
- Besides -- your friends will never want garlic bread again!
