Often dubbed as Polish pizza, zapiekanka is a popular Polish street food in the form of a baked open-face sandwich which can be up to 50 cm long. Although nowadays it comes in numerous varieties, classic zapiekanka is still the most popular one. It is prepared with a classic French baguette or other elongated white bread, which is cut in half lengthwise and topped with white button mushrooms sautéed on some onion. The mushrooms are sprinkled with grated cheese and toasted in an oven until the cheese melts and becomes crispy on the outside. The final touch is to drizzle the hot zapiekanka with some tomato ketchup, although some people prefer mayonnaise or spicy pepper sauce.
