The Perfect Ham & Cheese Baguette
The Jambon-Beurre is a French classic. Assembling the sandwich is a snap, but acquiring the ingredients is a journey.
- The freshest European butter - we like Isigny Beurre de Baratte
- A freshly baked baguette
- Jambon de Paris, a thinly sliced unsmoked ham
- Thinly sliced Gruyère
And the French secret - the Jambon-Beurre must be eaten fresh on the same day it's made. So make a day of it. Plan your picnic, do your shopping, tuck your baguettes into a basket and head to the park.
