Parisian Ham and Butter Sandwich

I had the Jambon Beurre sandwich at Le Panier at Pikes Place Market in Seattle and it was such a classically simple sandwich that I had to make it myself. As far as the cost of the ingredients, it was surprisingly low; even with Applewood smoked ham ($2.49 for fresh baked baguette, $4.49 for the preservative-free ham). I suppose I'll have to visit Paris, France some day to get the true sandwich baguette eating experience. Considering that I'll get a few sandwiches out of the baguette, the ingredients are well worth it at just under $8.

Ingredients

1 baguette
deli sliced ham
unsalted butter

Directions

Slice the baguette lengthwise and butter. Line one side with deli sliced ham (thin slices). I used two layers of ham. Replace top side of baguette and slice to desired lengths.

Enjoy.
