Christmas baguette.

Our Christmas Cranberry Brie Pistachio Baguette is a delicious and healthy take on a seasonal classic. It combines creamy brie, tangy cranberry sauce, and crunchy pistachios, all layered on a warm, wholewheat baguette. It’s perfect for a quick festive lunch or a light meal to enjoy by the fire.

Ingredients

• 1 wholewheat baguette  
• 1 small avocado, mashed 
• A few slices of mild Brie cheese 
• 1-2 tbsp cranberry sauce (homemade or bought) 
• 1 handful of rocket 
• 1 tbsp pistachios 

How to make it:    

1. Prep the baguette: Toast your baguette in the oven or toaster until it’s warm and crispy. Once done, cut it in half. 
2. Layer the ingredients: Spread the avocado evenly on the bottom half of the baguette. Place the Brie slices on top of the avocado, followed by the cranberry sauce. 
3. Finish & serve: Spread the rocket over the cranberry sauce and sprinkle with pistachios. Place the other half of the baguette on top and enjoy immediately.  

Why your body will thank you: 

This festive, no-fuss sandwich that’s bursting with flavour contains:  

• High fibre: the wholewheat baguette contains wholemeal flour, which has a higher fibre content than the all-purpose flour used for white bread. A diet high in fibre is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer and promotes good gut health. 
• Healthy fats: Avocado is high in monounsaturated fats, which, when eaten in place of foods high in saturated or trans fats, may help reduce breast cancer risk.
