Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole French baguette
- 300 grams Roast beef (thinly sliced)
- 4 slices Pepper Jack cheese (sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Arugula leaves
- 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise, then cut it into 4 equal sections to create sandwich bases.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth to create a spread.
Spread a generous layer of the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on the cut sides of each baguette section.
Layer the bottom half of each baguette section with arugula leaves, followed by 2-3 slices of roast beef.
Place 1 slice of Pepper Jack cheese on top of the roast beef for each sandwich.
Add 2-3 slices of tomato and a small portion of thinly sliced red onion on top of the cheese.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the toppings, then season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the top half of the baguette sections over the fillings to complete the sandwiches.
Press down gently on each sandwich to help the flavors meld together.
Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment paper or wax paper for an easy picnic transport option.
Serve immediately or keep chilled in a cooler until ready to enjoy.
