You can use any soft baguette for this zapiekanka recipe. I love using mini French or Italian bread. Whole wheat bread will also work here.
Feel free to use either brown or white mushrooms.
Choose your favorite melting cheese. I use either cheddar or monterey jack or mozzarella cheese.
Zapekanka is best eaten hot, right out of the oven. But you can make the filling up to 3 days in advance. Store in an airtight container.
