Cut the baguette in half lengthwise, then slice each half into two equal parts to make two sandwich bases.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely.
Place the baguette halves cut side down in the skillet to toast for about 2 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet.
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the cut side of each toasted baguette half.
Layer the lettuce leaves on the bottom halves of the baguette.
Add the sliced ham evenly over the lettuce.
Place the Swiss cheese slices on top of the ham.
Add the sliced tomato on top of the cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the tomato slices for added flavor.
Cover with the top halves of the toasted baguette.
Cut each sandwich in half diagonally, serve immediately and enjoy!
