Baguette Stuffed With Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Mascarpone and Basil image

If you are looking for a 10 minute recipe to serve at a party, here it is. Give it a few spins in the food processor, spread the mixture onto a hollowed out baguette and slice. You can substitute any spread and use the same method, but choose one with a bit of colour so it shows up against the bread. These are delicious.
