Delicious French Baguette Sandwich In 5 Easy Steps
A simple and elegant recipe for a classic French baguette sandwich, with smoked turkey, Gruyère cheese, and fresh arugula.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh baguette
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 6-8 slices smoked turkey breast
- 3-4 slices Gruyère or Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh arugula or other crisp lettuce
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Baguette: Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through, so it stays connected like a hinge.
- Spread the Condiments: On the inside of both halves of the baguette, spread an even layer of softened butter. Follow with a layer of Dijon mustard on the bottom half.
- Layer the Fillings: On the bottom half of the baguette, arrange the slices of smoked turkey. Top with the slices of Gruyère or Swiss cheese.
- Add the Greens: Gently pile the fresh arugula or lettuce over the cheese. The greens will add a nice peppery flavor and a fresh, crisp texture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble and Serve: Close the sandwich with the top half of the baguette. You can slice the baguette into individual sections or serve it whole. This delicious French baguette sandwich is best enjoyed immediately while the bread is still fresh.
Notes
This sandwich is best made just before serving to ensure the baguette remains fresh and crisp.
