Cream Cheese Stuffed Baguette.
I cut about a foot off of a baguette, I cut then end off of it and used a bread knife to hollow it out like this:
I ended up with this:
I set that aside. While I was carving up the bread I was also frying some bacon, 4 strips were for this, when the bacon was crisp I set it to drain and sauteed a small onion with some balsamic vinegar until translucent.
In a bowl I used a fork to soften an 8oz brick of cream cheese, I added 1tsp seasoning salt, 1tsp garlic, 1tsp basil, and 1tsp paprika then the onions and the bacon [now chopped]. I mixed it all together and using a butter knife I filled the baguette with the cream cheese.
The end result:
Then I did the puff pastry packages.
You can really fill these with whatever you like I did three different ones. While I was cooking everything else I also had half an acorn squash in the microwave steaming [flesh down 1/4c water 10-15min]. I pulled it out, scooped out the flesh and mixed it with 1tsp butter, salt&pepper to taste, a pinch of basil and 1/4c white Cheddar.
I rolled out the pastry to about 1mm thickness and cut into about 20 squares. I put the squash together first putting about 1tbsp of filling per sq.
The others were done similarly. The second packages were portobello mushrooms [which I'd sauteed in balsamic and lime cordial after the onions], smoked muscles [2-3 per package], and onions [1/2tsp per package].
Smoked oysters, bacon [about 1/4 slice per package], and parmesan.
Bake 400*f 15-20 min Until they look like this:
Tada! They were even enjoyed by my picky eaters:
Of course, my husband got home 2 hours later unexpectedly, so I made him bacon and eggs.
