Veg Stuffed French Bread
by Tarla Dalal
Typically served with soup as a starter or light dinner, the Veg Stuffed French Bread can also be enjoyed as an off-beat evening snack with a cup of desi tea!
Soft and fresh baguette bread is stuffed with a creamy stuffing of corn and coloured capsicums, and baked to perfection till the cheese melts, and the spices and herbs fuse with the remaining ingredients.
With the creaminess of butter and white sauce, the crunch of veggies, the softness of bread and the gooeyness of molten cheese, this multi-textured Veg Stuffed French Bread is a real treat to the palette.
You can adjust the spice levels of this dish by adding more or less chilli flakes as you please.
