Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 150 grams Blue cheese
- 300 grams Roast beef slices
- 200 grams Caramelized onions
- 1 cup Arugula
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, then add it to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add 200 grams of thinly sliced onions to the skillet and stir occasionally. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until they are soft, golden brown, and caramelized.
Slice the French baguette into four equal pieces, then slice each piece horizontally to create sandwich buns.
Lightly toast the cut sides of the baguette slices in the same skillet or under a broiler for a few minutes until just golden and crisp.
Spread 150 grams of blue cheese evenly on the bottom half of each baguette slice while the bread is still warm to allow it to melt slightly.
Layer 75 grams of roast beef slices on top of the blue cheese for each sandwich.
Top each sandwich with a generous spoonful of caramelized onions and a handful of arugula leaves.
Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter (about ½ tablespoon per sandwich) on the top half of each baguette slice and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Place the top half of the baguette over the sandwich filling and press gently to secure.
Serve immediately, or wrap the sandwiches in parchment paper for an elegant portable lunch.
