Jambon-beurre
Ingredients:
- 1 six to eight-inch piece of crusty baguette
- softened butter (salted or unsalted is up to you)
- slices of thick cut ham
- slices of Comte cheese (optional - Emmental or gruyere would work fine too)
Directions:
If your baguette is not fresh you might want to warm it up to recrisp it. Toasting process: spray baguette with water and place in a 350 F oven for 5 minutes to recrisp the crust.
Slice the baguette and spread butter on both interior sides. Layer on the ham.
Add slices of cheese if using and then close the sandwich. Serve and enjoy.
