Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large loaf Whole grain baguette
- 6 slices Low-sodium deli ham
- 4 slices Low-fat Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Fresh arugula
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for warming the baguette.
Slice the whole grain baguette in half horizontally and place it in the oven for about 5 minutes to lightly crisp the crust.
While the baguette is warming, slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion to yield about 1/4 cup. Set aside.
Once the baguette is warmed, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before handling.
Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on each half of the baguette.
On the bottom half of the baguette, layer 6 slices of low-sodium ham.
Top the ham with 4 slices of low-fat Swiss cheese.
Arrange the tomato slices evenly over the cheese.
Add the fresh arugula and thinly sliced red onion on top of the tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and season with black pepper.
Place the top half of the baguette over the fillings, pressing down gently to hold the ingredients together.
Cut the sandwich into 4 equal portions and serve immediately.
