Jambon Beurre
This sandwich is so easy and delicious I could easily eat one for lunch or dinner everyday, if it wasn’t swimming in carbs of course. The Jambon Beurre, as it’s called in France, (I’ve also seen it called the Parisian on menus and the internet) is essentially just ham and butter on a baguette. I have also seen the sandwich before with cheese and cornichons so I went that route.
Comté cheese seems to be the most popular (for a very good reason after tasting it). So, Comté it was.
A fresh baguette is a must. If you haven’t a good bakery nearby, I have my French Bread recipe here. I struggled with my french bread for a long time and even though this recipe is as good as gotten, I still have problems from time to time.
Just like the bread and cheese, spring for the best ham you can get. I baked a little pre-cured and smoked ham this time. Deli ham will work if time isn’t on your side. If I didn’t mention before, this sandwich goes great with some french onion soup!
