      Title: Stuffed Baguette
 Categories: Christmas
      Yield: 1 Baguette
 
      1    Baguette (24");
           - not super thin
     20 oz Cream cheese; softened
    1/2 tb Garlic; minced
      1 tb Onion; minced
    1/2 c  Red bell pepper;
           - finely chopped
    1/4 c  Roasted red pepper;
           - finely chopped
    1/4 c  Sun dried tomatoes;
           - finely chopped
      2 ts Dried parsley
      1 ts Italian spices
     24 ds Black pepper
     12 ds Dried basil
      6 ds Salt
 
  Start with softened cream cheese.  ix with hand mixer until fluffy.
  Add the rest of the ingredients and combine well.
  
  Slice off both "points" of the baguette.
  
  Cut bread into three sections of equal length. Working from both
  ends of the baguette fill the bread with the cheese mixture. Pack
  the filling tight. Wrap the stuffed baguettes very well in plastic
  wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but best overnight.
  
  Right before serving, slice each baguette into 1/2" slices and
  serve.
  
  For the most neat looking slices, treat it as a cheesecake--each
  time you slice use a hot dry knife.
  
  Run blade of knife under hot water and wipe dry with paper towel.

  Nice appetizer. We use this for Xmas but would be good anytime.
  
  In addition to the above items, other things to consider in the
  filling would be, diced salami, diced olives, goat cheese, the
  options are endless.
  
  Variation of several recipes off the web.
