Tied Up Sandwich Loaf

I made this for dinner and thought it would be fun to share.

What you see is a nice crisp loaf of bread, some cheese and veggies, 

as well as some left over pork loin roast. I think this would work with 

any similar ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375.

First I cut up the veggies and sprayed them with olive oil.

Then I added some of my favorite french herb mixture.

Use your favorite herbs. Into the oven at 375 until they are 

nicely roasted and a little caramelized around the edges.

Mean while slice open the loaf and put it over 3 or 4 pieces of  cooking twine.

You could add mayo, butter or mustard even all three if you want.

Next time I'll try it with a spalsh of hot sauce.

Grate enough cheese to cover half the loaf and set aside.

When the roasted Veggies are done layer them onto the meat and add the cheese. 

Yum don't you think it's starting to look tasty?

This would be just as good vegetarian style..no meat!

Put the lid on making sure everything is tucked in. I really sort of squished it together.

Tie up the strings and pop into the oven yes right on the rack, no pan.

That way the bread will keep the crisp crust the baker worked so hard to achieve.

I left mine in for 30 minutes at the 375 but the cheese wasn't quite melted yet.

 Next time longer or a hotter oven.

It was a big hit just the same.

Maybe it could be put in the fridge and heated later. Ready to heat and eat after a hike. Mmm

Come to think of it it would be good cold on a picnic too, why not.

If you try it let me know how it goes.
