How to Make Avocado And Ham Sandwiches
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes (optional, for toasting the baguette).
- Slice a baguette in half lengthwise, leaving the bottom crust intact.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
- Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on both cut sides of the baguette.
- Layer 4-5 slices of thinly sliced ham evenly over one half of the baguette.
- Top the ham with 1/2 of a ripe avocado, sliced into thin rounds.
- (Optional) Add 2-3 slices of Swiss cheese on top of the avocado.
- Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
- Gently close the baguette.
- Serve immediately, or chill for later. Best served within 3 hours.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
