Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large whole-grain baguette
- 8 slices vegetarian ham slices
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 1 cup mixed salad greens
- 1 medium, thinly sliced ripe tomato
- 0.25 small, thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into two equal pieces, yielding four pieces in total.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise together until well combined.
Spread the mustard-mayonnaise mixture evenly on the cut sides of each baguette piece.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Lightly toast the inside of the baguette pieces for about 2 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Place 2 slices of vegetarian ham on the bottom half of each baguette piece.
Top the ham with a slice of Swiss cheese.
Place the prepared baguette halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is just melted.
Remove from the oven and immediately layer the salad greens, thinly sliced tomatoes, and red onions on top of the cheese.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Top with the other half of the baguette, pressing gently to adhere.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
