Roasted bell pepper and tomato baguettes

I will take this opportunity to inform you that I'm off to a small holiday tomorrow. I'm sure I can't resist posting photos to Instagram from the location, so at least there you can get some spoilers. After the holiday this blog will of course be full of holiday photos and stories. So I can also reveal that I will be going to Norway, where I haven't been since the 1980s, and never to these parts where I'm now going to. It's so exciting! This autumn break is very much needed right now.

Here is also a quick food post, fully unrelated to the holiday news. I love roasted vegetables and I love putting them on breads, especially bell peppers and tomatoes are perfect for this. Therefore I end up making veggie breads quite often.

This is how simple it can be, here are the ingredients I used this time:

• sourdough olive baguette
• small tomatoes roasted in olive oil
• bell peppers roasted in olive oil
• whipped soft cheese
• fresh basil leaves

What goes onto your favourite bread?

Have a great weekend!

Cheese and tomato baguettes

We make these cheesy oven baguettes quite often as evening snacks at my mum's house. Then we can use wonderful Finnish chanterelle soft cheese, it's so good in these, but a regular soft cheese will also do. This time I made these for breakfast and they kept me going for a long time.

Here's how I made them.

Ingredients

2 baguettes

100 g mini cherry tomatoes

½ onion

1 garlic clove (optional)

Soft cheese

Salt

Ground black pepper

Grated cheese

Method

Slice the baguettes and tomatoes. Cut the onion into thin rings.

Rub the baguettes with garlic and spread the soft cheese on them.

Place the tomato slices and onions on the baguettes, season with salt and pepper and cover with grated cheese.

Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes and enjoy!

Have a great weekend!

Cheesy garlic bread

There's still time to slip in one more post for May. This is more a tip how to make a quick side to salads, pasta dishes etc. The bread is not self-made, so that's what makes this such a quick and easy solution.

1 small baguette

1 garlic clove

1 tbsp olive oil

25 g butter

1 tsp parsley

25 g Sussex Charmer cheese

Make a cut into the baguette lengthwise without cutting it fully through.

Cook the finely chopped garlic in olive oil for a couple of minutes and then mix it with the butter and parsley.

Spread this garlic butter into the baguette and sprinkle grated cheese on the top.

Wrap the baguette in aluminium foil and bake at 180C for about 10 minutes and it's done!
