Perfect for outdoor gatherings or a quick, flavorful lunch, this Picnic Roast Beef and Pepper Jack Sandwich combines gourmet ingredients with effortless preparation. Featuring tender slices of roast beef, creamy Pepper Jack cheese, and a tangy Dijon-mayonnaise spread, all layered on a crusty French baguette, this sandwich delivers bold taste in every bite. Crisp arugula, juicy tomato, and thinly sliced red onion add refreshing crunch, while a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper elevate the flavors. With just 15 minutes of prep time, this make-ahead sandwich is a convenient and satisfying option for picnics, road trips, or any on-the-go occasion.
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.
