Today my Mom exclaimed we were having a Parisian lunch. She had brie, and mini french bread loaves. Normally, we would just stand over the counter and inhale the brie and bread, like we were eating our last meal on earth, but since we had black forest ham, whole grain mustard, and arugula in the fridge, they sounded like the perfect ingredients for a SANDWICH PARTY!!
I apologize for not having a better picture, but I devoured the first half before I realized I should share this!
This sandwich was so easy to make! Cut the baguette in half and set the broiler to high. On a cookie sheet I drizzled the insides of the bread with a little olive oil, then put slices of black forest ham on one side, and sliced pieces of brie on the other. Put the cookie sheet under the broiler, and keep the oven door open. Watch the bread, once the cheese melts and the bread looks toasted, pull the cookie sheet out. The cheese will melt quickly, and the bread will get nice and crunchy. Then, put some whole grain mustard, and arugula inside the sandwich. This delicious sandwich took me less than 10 minutes for prep and cooking!
I can't think of many things I like more than gooey melted cheese with crunchy bread, and the crisp peppery arugula complements the salty ham. If you haven't tried whole grain mustard yet, I highly recommend it! I think it's a little like dijon mustard, but with more of a subtle taste.
Hope you enjoy!!
That looks completely delicious! It's also a great idea for crunchy bread. I've have to try that.
