The only reason I EVER buy those part baked petit pains in the store is for these stuffed breads (oh and these stuffed breads). Filled with crispy bacon, wilted spinach and melted cheese they turn those pallid-looking, play-doh smelling rolls into the most amazing lunch! I made these last week when we had some guests, There were certainly lots of oohs and ahhs as the bacon sizzled, and also when the spinach was wilted down in that lovely bacon fat (I know I know - how to make a superfood into a superbad (but crazy-delicious) food).
These things are so easy to make, and if you can’t be bothered with cooking the bacon and spinach, simply replace them with whatever you fancy -
Ham and mushroom (no need to pre-cook the mushroom slices) Leftover chicken with chopped chillies Even good old tuna and sweetcorn work really well with the cheesy mixture in this recipe.
You can make them earlier in the day, then wrap and store them in the fridge until later - which makes them a perfect snack to serve when friends come over. Serve them with soup for quick mid-week dinner. Oh the possibilities are endless 🙂 Play-doh bread is back in fashion!
