Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 2 loaves Baguette / French Bread
  • 2 cups Mushrooms (chopped)
  • 2 cups Red onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 large Bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Crushed red pepper (or to taste)
  • to taste Salt
  • Cheese (any melting kind - 1 ½ cups (I used Mexican blend))
  • to serve Ketchup

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375° F and layer a large baking sheet with parchment.
  • Chop all the vegetables and get the baguettes ready.
  • In a cast iron pan, heat the oil.
  • Add the onions, bell pepper and mushrooms along with salt and crushed red pepper and saute them in medium heat until they are caramelized lightly.
  • Make sure that you cook them in medium heat to release all the natural sweetness.
  • In the meantime, cut the baguettes into 2 and then slice them in half. We will have 8 bread slices in total.
  • Divide the vegetable filling evenly over the baguette slices and then add a layer of cheese on top.
  • Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake it until the cheese melts. Takes about 5 minutes per batch.
  • Remove the Zapiekanka from the oven and squeeze the ketchup over it and serve.
