Servings: 4–6
Difficulty: Easy

📝 Ingredients

1 baguette
250 g cream cheese (e.g., Philadelphia)
150 g goat cheese
50 g spicy salami
10 green olives stuffed with peppers
4 sun-dried tomatoes in oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt, to taste (optional)

🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions

Soften the cream cheese and goat cheese by mixing them together until smooth and slightly creamy.
Finely chop the salami, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes by hand (avoid using a food processor to preserve texture).
Add the chopped ingredients to the cheese mixture. Season with freshly ground black pepper and salt only if needed. Mix well.
Cut the baguette into two 15 cm pieces for easier handling. Hollow out the crumb from each piece carefully.
Place the baguette pieces cut side down on a sheet of aluminum foil.
Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed baguette sections, pressing firmly to avoid air pockets.
Wrap each baguette tightly in foil and refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors meld and firm up.
Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.

💡 Tips & Variations

Add fresh herbs like parsley or basil for an herbal lift.
Substitute spicy salami with roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for a vegetarian option.
For extra crunch, sprinkle toasted pine nuts into the cheese mix.
Wrap tightly to ensure the filling stays put when slicing and transporting.
