Ingredients

  • 1 baguette French bread (16 oz; about 20 inches long), cut in half horizontally
  • 1/4 cup chives-and-onion cream cheese spread (from 8-oz container)
  • 1 jar (6 1/2 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, well drained, patted dry and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 1/2 cup roasted red bell peppers (from 12-oz jar), patted dry, cut into 1 1/2-inch strips
  • 1/4 lb thinly sliced salami
  • Assorted large pitted kalamata and pimiento-stuffed green olives, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Remove some of soft bread from center of top half of baguette to make a long, narrow well. If desired, cut off about 1/2 inch of pointed ends of baguette.
  • 2
    In small bowl, mix cream cheese spread and artichokes. Generously spread mixture in long, narrow well in top half of baguette. Spread pesto over cream cheese mixture.
  • 3
    Place roasted pepper strips on bottom half of baguette. Fold salami slices in half; layer diagonally over peppers, overlapping slices slightly.
  • 4
    Place top half of baguette, pesto side down, over salami; press halves together well. Thread olives onto toothpicks or cocktail picks; insert toothpicks through all layers at 1-inch intervals. Cut between toothpicks into 18 slices.

  • This appetizer loaf can be assembled several hours ahead. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to cut and serve.
  • Substitute thinly sliced turkey or other deli meat for the salami, if you like.
