The French baguette, with its crispy crust and soft interior, is an iconic symbol of French culinary excellence. While classic combinations like ham and cheese are timeless, sometimes it’s fun to experiment with unexpected flavors. Here are three ideas to add to your rotation.
Chocolate Delight
Combining the savory, crunchy texture of a baguette with the rich, sweet flavor of chocolate creates a surprisingly delightful contrast. To make it, place pieces of chocolate evenly along one side of the baguette. If using dark chocolate, you might want to add a bit of sweetness with a drizzle of caramel. Enjoy this delicious snack.
Mediterranean Veggie Medley
This sandwich brings the fresh flavors of the Mediterranean to the classic French baguette. Layer sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions. Add olives, crumbled feta cheese and top with fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and you’re good to go.
Brie and Apple with Honey Mustard
Combining creamy brie cheese with the crisp sweetness of apples and the tang of honey mustard, this sandwich is an amazing mix of flavors and textures. Start with a thin layer of honey mustard. Arrange slices of brie cheese and top with apple slices. Add a handful of arugula or spinach and wha-la!
