Baked bread stuffed with cheese and sausage

Appetizers - Baked bread stuffed with cheese and sausage by Cornelia N. - Recipia

Baked bread stuffed with cheese and sausage is filled with a creamy mixture, then baked until the crust turns crisp. Onion, garlic and parsley go into the hot centre, which you scoop out with a spoon; serve the stuffed loaf warm, with toasted slices alongside. I choose a loaf with a thick crust that holds the filling well. Prep: 25 minutes. Cook: 25 minutes. Total time: 50 minutes. Serves: 4. Approximately 900 kcal and 32 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the mayonnaise

  • 1 whole egg
  • 15 g mustard
  • 240 ml oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 5 ml vinegar

For the filling

  • 1 medium round loaf (500 g)
  • 250 g flamenco cheese or mozzarella or emmental
  • 100 g smoked kabanos sausage
  • 1/4 medium onion (40 g)
  • 1 garlic clove (3 g)
  • 5 g fresh parsley
  • 15 g sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

Preparation

1. Cut a lid off the bread and scoop out the soft centre, leaving the crust intact. Save the lid for later. 2. This time I made the mayonnaise at home: put the egg, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper and oil in a blender. Blend for a few seconds, until thickened, then add the vinegar. 3. Grate the cheese and onion, cut the sausage into very small cubes, crush the garlic and finely chop the parsley. Mix them with the sour cream, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper. Gradually mix in enough mayonnaise to make a creamy mixture that holds together. 4. Fill the hollowed-out bread and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is hot. 5. Put the lid on top and bake for another 5 minutes, until warmed through. Serve piping hot, with a spoon.

Notes

The thick crust holds the filling, while very soft bread can tear when you scoop it out. If the grated onion releases a lot of juice, squeeze it gently; finely diced sausage mixes more evenly into the filling. Take your time hollowing out the bread and leave a layer of soft centre on the sides. Put it in the oven just before the meal so it’s hot when you serve it. Serve with toasted bread slices rubbed with garlic and a glass of red wine. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use kabanos sausage too?

Yes, use 100 g and cut it into cubes about 4 mm across so it mixes well with the cheese.

Can I use fresh mozzarella?

Yes, but drain it for 30 minutes and pat it dry before grating so it doesn’t release too much liquid into the filling.

How do I hollow out the bread without breaking it?

Use a serrated knife and leave sides about 2 cm thick, especially at the base of the loaf.

What should I do if the mayonnaise doesn’t thicken?

Add 1 teaspoon of lukewarm water and blend for a few more seconds, keeping the blender at the bottom of the container until it comes together.
