Fontina Stuffed French Bread

Recipe #335209 | 25 min | 10 min prep | add private note

I found this recipe online somewhere and don't remember where. The filling is nice and gooey. I love how fontina cheese is so melty and mild. You can use any type of long bread. Sourdough is a good choice.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F
  2. 2
    In small skillet, sauté onion in oil until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. In medium bowl, toss sautéed onions with peppers, parsley, thyme, fontina cheese and ham. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. 3
    To hollow rolls, cut off one end and set aside. Using a thin bladed knife, gently cut the center out of each bread, leaving 3/8 inches around the edge.
  4. 4
    Use a small spoon to scrape out inside bread and discard. Stuff 1/4 filling mixture into the rolls by using the end of a wooden spoon to gently push filling into bread. Replace cut-off end and wrap each bread with foil, leaving open on top.
  5. 5
    Place stuffed breads on baking sheet. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until bread is crisp and filling is warm. Slice with a good serrated bread knife (so you don't smoosh it) and serve.

    Good stuff! The parsley and thyme really added a nice flavor. They were also very visually appealing. The store was out of French rolls, so I used Italian rolls and prepared as directed. I omitted the salt. Thanks for sharing!

    Cheesy goodness! I made a few minor changes to the recipe. 1. I used fresh diced red pepper which I sauteed with the onions. 2. I cut my rolls hot-dog style - I knew there was no way I was going to be able to try to do the scooping from the top without tearing the rolls. So I just cut a length-wise slit and tore out the extra bread with my fingers, which worked great. 3. I had leftover cheeses from other recipes, so I subbed a combo of havarti, muenster, and asiago. It was delicious - I think the fontina would be good, too, but any creamy melting cheese should work. This one is a keeper!

    What a nice little package. I love Fontina cheese, so when I saw you had a recipe for it, I had to tag it. Yum! I couldn't find French rolls at our grocery store, so used panini. I also did not have fresh thyme, so dried had to do. Would be even better when my thyme bush is in bloom this summer.
