If you run a cafe, restaurant, or other eatery, adding artisan bread to your menu will instantly upgrade your offerings. For your first artisan bread, consider the baguette. This versatile bread offers endless creative possibilities your customers will savor. Here are five ways to serve baguettes at your establishment, ranging from creative to classic.

Inspiration for Baguette Menu Items

1. Grilled Cheese

Create mini versions of the timeless grilled cheese sandwich using sourdough baguette loaves from your artisan bread supplier. The sourdough adds extra flavor without overwhelming the cheese. Stick to American or cheddar cheese, or combine a few of your favorite cheeses to make something new and tasty. Pair the sandwiches with cups of tomato soup for extra flavor.

2. Avocado Toast

Serve small slices of avocado atop gluten-free baguette bread as a healthy breakfast snack. Add pinches of salt or any other desired seasoning for flavor.

If you typically prepare avocado toast with sunny side eggs, make baguette-friendly versions by scrambling the eggs instead and adding them on top of the avocado.

3. Pizza

Use the classic French version of the baguette as your base for small pizzas. Apply homemade tomato sauce and your favorite mozzarella cheese, or get creative with assorted toppings such as peppers, mushrooms, bacon, and pineapple.

4. French Toast

For another twist on a classic dish, consider baguette French toast. Ensure each piece gets coated with your egg mixture before frying the bread to golden-brown perfection. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or assorted fruits to the toast to provide breakfast lovers with more options.

5. Vegetable Panini

Create small paninis using your favorite vegetables and whole wheat baguettes. You can work with small grills featuring pressing mechanisms, or you can or place a clean skillet on top of the skillet housing the sandwiches to provide the necessary weight. Mix cheese with the vegetables or use seasonings to bring out the flavors.
