Grilled Vegetable Baguette: A Fresh Take on Summer BBQ

There’s nothing quite like the smoky, charred flavor that grilling brings out in fresh vegetables. From zucchini and eggplant to mushrooms and peppers, grilling transforms simple produce into something rich, savory, and irresistible. This recipe takes those perfectly grilled veggies and layers them into a crusty French baguette with melty provolone, a zesty basil vinaigrette, and a bold sun-dried tomato and olive tapenade. The result? A hearty, flavor-packed sandwich that’s just as perfect for a summer picnic as it is for a weeknight dinner.

Best of all, it’s easy to make with just a few basic ingredients—flour, butter (or oil), and milk—yet it can be transformed with endless flavor variations, from velvety cheese sauces to herb-infused delights.

Holiday Potatoes with Chef Doughty – Variations of Mashed & Twice Baked

A note from Chef Doughty…making mashed potatoes is not an exact science. You are allowed tons of flexibility and because of that I am reluctant to include a recipe. That said, this recipe will demonstrate some essential ingredients that should generally be included (butter, dairy, salt and pepper). This recipe is the standard recipe that we used at the restaurant. It holds well and provides good body and texture and is a good base for added ingredients, should you choose to use them.
