 Start with softened cream cheese.  Mix with hand mixer until fluffy.
 Add the rest of the ingredients and combine well.

 Slice off both "points" of the baguette.

 Cut bread into three sections of equal length. Working from both ends
 of the baguette fill the bread with the cheese mixture.  Pack the
 filling tight.  Wrap the stuffed baguettes very well in placstic wrap
 and refrigerate for at least two hours but best overnight.

 Right before serving, slice each gabuette into 1/2 inch slices and
 serve.

 For the most neat looking slices, treat it as a cheesecake - each
 time you slice use a hot dry knife.

 Run blade of knife under hot water and wipe dry with paper towe.

 Nice appetizer - We use this for Xmas but would be good anytime.

 In addition to the above items, other things to consider in the
 filling would be, diced salami, diced olives, goat cheese, the
 options are endless.

 Variation of several recipes off the web.
