For all my English friends, this is the first recipe in English on my blog!  As you probably know, I am from Holland, so maybe the English is a little bit with a dutch touch. I hope it is fine, if something is not clear or something is written wrongly, please let me know 🙂 

“It is monday again, the week is starting, the weekend is over. Time flies.. I have lack of weekends, I can use two weekends in one week! But ok, the things I had to do, I did, including a few nice activities (ofcourse because that is why there is something called weekend.)

One of the things I do every weekend, is making a weekplanning for meals. I search all the recipes, which I would like to make that week. Afterwards I go grocery shopping once. (often with my friend, because we buy a lot a lot a lot of food and I cannot carry it on my own 😉 ) I make my weekplanning because I hate grocery shopping.. I prefer to spend my time on other activities, because the weekend is already too short.

Therefore I think it is important that you can make my recipes in a short period of time. This recipe is an original recipe of my mom. Enjoy!

Baguette with union and cheese

  2 persons/ 4 pieces
simple and fast
lunch & diner

This is what you need for 4 pieces:

• Oven
• Cutting board
• Knife
• Frying pan
• Oven paper

This groceries you have to buy:

• 1  baguette (for in the oven)
• 1   creamcheese with herbs (Boursin)
• 2 large tomatoes
• 1 big onion
• grated cheese
• A little bit butter for baking

Suggestion: for dinner, dubble the quantities. 
Suggestion: Also very nice with some baked mushrooms.
Suggestion: Do you not have grated cheese? You can also use sliced cheese as well. 

This is how you make it:

Step 1: Preheat the oven – 200 degrees
Step 2: Cut the unions into rings. Bake the union in the fryingpan and with some butter.
Step 3: Meanwhile cut the baguette open and through the middle. You have four pieces now.
Step 4: Wash the tomatoes and cut them into thin slices.
Step 5: Spread all four pieces of baguette with a thick layer of cream cheese or Boursin.
Step 6: Then place the fried onion rings (and, if you would like, the fried mushrooms) over it.
Step 7: Now place the tomato slices on top.
Step 8: Sprinkle finally a thick layer of grated cheese baguettes on top.
Step 9: Place the bread on a ovengriddle covered with greaseproof paper.
Step 10: Bake the four pieces of bread, on 200 degrees. About 10 to 20 minutes. The baguettes are ready when the cheese has a tasty browned appearance. *

* Please note that this varies by oven, so regularly keep an eye on whether the baguette is not brown too quickly. Otherwise, turn the oven slightly lower.

 

 

Serving suggestion: This bread is really nice for lunch. You can also eat it as dinner with soup. Bon appetit!
