Casseroles are a classic, traditionally enjoyed with mushrooms. However, they offer a great opportunity for experimentation, as you can bake many more ingredients on a baguette.

Gyros baked baguette works great not only as a lunch item but also as a tasty dinner option. It's filling, and every bite makes you want to eat more. Adults love it, and kids find it tempting. It's a hit at every party, and preparing it is a breeze.

Step 3. Flatten the garlic baguette using a rolling pin. Press first, then roll it out. It should be flat enough so the filling doesn't fall off.

Step 4. Place the baguette on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake for 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 170°C.
