Ingredients
1 long rustic baguette
12 slices salami of your choice
8 slices aged cheddar
8 large tomato slices
4 leaves iceberg lettuce
4 Tbsp Frenchmaid Tomato Relish
Butter (optional)
Salt & pepper, to taste
Method
Prepare the Baguette: Cut the baguette into four even portions.Slice each lengthwise — keeping the hinge intact for easier eating — and spread with either butter or a thin layer of Frenchmaid Mayonnaise.
Build the Layers: Lay one iceberg lettuce leaf onto each baguette. Add two slices of tomato, season lightly with salt and pepper, then place two slices of aged cheddar on top. Finish with three slices of salami per portion.
Add the Signature Finish: Spoon one tablespoon of Frenchmaid Tomato Relish over the salami on each baguette for sweet‑savory balance and a glossy finish.
Serve: Arrange on a platter and serve fresh — ideal for lunch service, cabinet display, or catering trays.
Chef’s Tips
Upgrade the crunch: Add thinly sliced red onion or pickles for sharpness.
Cabinet‑friendly: Brush the cut baguette with a little olive oil before adding fillings to prevent sogginess in display.
Protein swap: Works beautifully with smoked turkey, pastrami, or roast beef.
Why It Works
This baguette balances freshness, richness, and acidity: crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, salty salami, sharp cheddar, creamy Mayo, and the sweet tang of Frenchmaid Tomato Relish. The result is a rustic, satisfying sandwich with enough flavour contrast to feel both classic and elevated.
Perfect for menus that rely on speed, consistency, and strong visual appeal.
