Ingredients
- 1 loaf Crusty baguette or ciabatta
- 100 grams Serrano ham
- 100 grams Manchego cheese
- 1 large Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
Slice the baguette or ciabatta loaf in half lengthwise, then cut into two equal portions to make two sandwiches.
Drizzle the cut sides of the bread with extra virgin olive oil, spreading it evenly with a brush or your fingers.
Grate the tomato using a box grater into a bowl, discarding the skin. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to the grated tomato mixture and stir to combine.
Spread a generous layer of the tomato mixture onto the bottom halves of the bread.
Arrange layers of Serrano ham followed by slices of Manchego cheese on top of the tomato mixture.
Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the bread and press down gently.
Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for an on-the-go snack.
