Steps

Preparation

Cut the baguette lengthwise, but not all the way through, to create a pocket. Spread butter on both halves, then thinly spread mustard on one half if using.

Filling

Place the lettuce leaves (if using) on the bottom half of the baguette. Layer the sliced ham, followed by the sliced cheese. Ensure the filling is evenly distributed.

Serving

Fold the baguette together, and if desired, cut it in half or into smaller portions for easier eating. Serve immediately or pack for a picnic.

Extra Tips

► Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or provolone, to discover new flavors.

► Lightly toast the baguette in the oven before filling it for an extra crispy texture.

► Add fresh vegetables like tomato or cucumber for an even fresher taste experience.
