Method
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice baguette1 in half lengthwise and gently press down the soft center with a spoon.

Sprinkle with oregano and place on a baking sheet.
Bake 10 minutes until cheese melts and baguette1 edges crisp.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cut the baguette lengthwise and press it down with a spoon, so the crumb absorbs the tomato paste and doesn't stay dry. If you don't press, the topping slides off while baking.
- Substitutions
- Swap 35 g of sausage for ham or smoked chicken. You can leave out the olives, or add 10 g of capers instead.
- Common mistakes
- If the cheese didn't melt, the oven was below 200 °C or the baking time was under 10 minutes. The baguette edges should be golden.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1 minute under a lid or in the oven at 180 °C for 5 minutes.
- Serve with
- Serve with a simple tomato and basil salad, or with warm pesto sauce for kids.
