Alpine Beef, Mushroom & Swiss Baguettes

• Drizzle oil in a hot large pan. Add scallion whites, mushrooms, ground beef*, stock concentrate, a pinch of salt, and pepper; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until mushrooms are browned and beef is cooked through, 5-7 minutes. • Meanwhile, tear cheese into 1-inch pieces. • Reduce heat to low; stir in cheese, cream sauce base, and ⅛ tsp nutmeg (¼ tsp for 4). (Be sure to measure the nutmeg—we sent more!) Cook, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and mixture has thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat; stir in scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper if desired. TIP: While beef cooks, move on to the next step!

• Halve baguettes lengthwise, stopping before you get all the way through. Toast until golden brown. • In a large bowl, combine apple, arugula, and Greek vinaigrette.
