Baking sheet
Aluminum foil
Sharp knife
Measuring spoons
Oven mitts
- 2 large baguettes
- 200 g ham your choice (e.g., Paris ham)
- 200 g mozzarella sliced
- 1 tbsp mustard optional
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- q.s. fresh basil leaves or arugula for garnish (optional)
- to taste salt and pepper
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Cut each baguette lengthwise, leaving a hinge on one side. Spread mustard inside if using.
Layer slices of ham and mozzarella inside the baguettes.
Drizzle the inside of the baguettes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Wrap the baguettes in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
For a golden crust, remove the foil and place the baguettes under the broiler for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves or arugula, slice the baguettes, and serve immediately.
For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients like fresh baguettes and good-quality ham. Try swapping ham for turkey or using different cheeses like cheddar or provolone. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for optimal texture. Enjoy as a quick snack or a satisfying meal, and feel free to get creative with your fillings!
