Ingredients

1 baguette (~14 inches long)
8 oz cream cheese softened
4 oz goat cheese
1 garlic clove minced
½ cup red bell pepper finely chopped
3 Tbsp green olives pitted & chopped
⅓ cup pitted dates finely chopped
2 slices bacon cooked & crumbled
2 tsp fresh thyme chopped
2 tsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Slice off both ends of the baguette. Then cut the baguette in half, so you have two 7-inch baguettes. (This will make it easier to hollow out and stuff.)
Use a long thin knife to hollow out each half of the baguette, working from both ends, until the crust is around ½-inch thick. Use a wooden spoon to help push the bread through if needed.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Then beat in goat cheese.
Fold in the rest of the ingredients and stir until integrated.
Working from both ends again, fill each hollowed baguette with the cream cheese mixture, packing it as tightly as possible.
Wrap stuffed baguette in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and up to two days. Before serving, slice stuffed baguette into ½-inch thick slices. Use a hot dry knife for clean slices.
Arrange baguette bites on a platter, serve, and enjoy!
Yields ~25-26 baguette bites, depending on length of baguette.
