Preparation of baguette stuffed with meat and mozzarella
To prepare the baguette stuffed with meat and mozzarella, first cook the minced meat in a pan with the onion, carrot, and celery sauté for 10 minutes.
I didn’t add oil because the meat was already fatty, but if yours is lean, you can add 1 tablespoon of oil. Keep the meat rather moist, not dry, and set aside.
Season the tomato puree with salt, pepper, oregano, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and slice the mozzarella first into slices and then into pieces.
Cut the tops off the baguettes and hollow them out.
Add a few tablespoons of tomato puree to the minced meat and mix.
Stuff the hollowed-out baguettes with the ground meat, pressing well to compact it.
Cover with plenty of tomato puree and mozzarella.
Drizzle the baguettes stuffed with meat and mozzarella with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and dried oregano.
If you want, you can grate more mozzarella on top or cut it into pieces.
Bake the stuffed baguettes in a preheated oven at 350°F in static mode for 15 minutes or until the mozzarella has melted and the bread has become crispy.
Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
