Ingredients:

1 medium baguette
Olive oil
1 clove garlic
¾ tub Philadelphia-style cream cheese
5 sun-dried tomatoes
5 artichokes in oil or brine, cut into bite size pieces

Take 1 medium baguette, tease open and gently rub with a cut clove of garlic. Take your virgin olive oil and lubricate well in preparation for filling. Smear with a generous amount of cream cheese and push in the heady combination of sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes. Keep stuffing until the cheese starts to ooze around the edges.

Serve uncut - this double ended vegetarian delight will satisfy sandwich lovers everywhere.
