Waaaay better than a boring old sandwich, these melty, hot stuffed petit pains are a thing of beauty!

Bread is a wonderful thing – be it sweet toasties, beautiful brioche or artisan bread rolls (ok, maybe sandwiches aren’t that boring). You just can’t beat bread for a quick lunch.

And the good thing about these stuffed breads, is they're made from par-baked rolls - the ones in the vacuum packed bags, that last for ages.
They're a great store-cupboard essential, so you can have warm, crusty fresh tasting bread any time.

Now i've done this Savoury Stuffed Bread (I also have a beautiful spinach and bacon stuffed bread version), I’m thinking of a sweet version too...

Hmmm……

Nutella, banana, chopped nuts and marshmallows? What do you think?

Ingredients

▢ 4 part-baked petit pains or rolls
▢ 8 small mushrooms - sliced
▢ 120 g (½ cup) cream cheese
▢ 3 tbsp creme fraiche
▢ 1 garlic clove - peeled and crushed

▢ 1 pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Topping:

To Serve:

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 200C/400F (fan).
Take the part baked rolls out of the packaging and place on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut out an oblong hole from the top of the rolls. Scoop out the bread, ensuring you don’t pierce the bottom of the rolls.

Place the rolls on a baking tray. Discard the scooped out bread (or save to use for homemade breadcrumbs or croutons).
Mix together the mushrooms, cream cheese, creme fraiche and garlic in a bowl. Stir the cheese and the black pepper.

✎ Notes

What to do with the leftover scooped out bread

Use for dipping! Drizzle with olive oil and a little salt and pepper, then place in the oven with the stuffed breads
Make breadcrumbs: Grate or whizz in a food processor, then place in a bag and freeze.
Make croutons: Chop into 1 cm pieces, drizzle with oil, salt and pepper and bake in the oven at 200C/400F for 5-8 minutes, until golden.
Make garlic bread bites: Brush/spread on garlic butter and bake in the oven at 200C/400F for 3-5 minutes, until golden, but still a little soft.
Make cheese-on-toast toppers for soup: Top with grated cheese, then grill (broil) until the cheese is bubbling.

Can I make it ahead?

You can make the filling ahead of time, or make the filling and stuff the breads (but don't bake). Make up to a day ahead, then store, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

I wouldn't recommend baking the stuffed breads ahead of time, then reheating as I think the breads would go too hard and crispy.

Ingredient swaps

Keep the cream cheese, creme fraiche and cheddar, and then add what you like....

Cooked chicken
Chopped peppers
Jalapeños
Pepperoni
Ham
Sweetcorn
Think of your favourite pizza topping and stuff it in!
