The Best Beach Sandwich

The Best Beach Sandwich
Serves 3-4

Jenny, Marc and I made this sandwich on our last day in St. Maarten. What made it so memorable was the freshness of all the ingredients. All the vegetables were locally grown and purchased from the farmers market. Most importantly, the baguette was taken right out of the oven! My advice to you is to try and get the freshest baguette available to you (if possible). Ours came from a French bakery in Marigot.

Ingredients
1 Fresh Baguette (sliced in half lengthwise)
3 oz good crumbled goat cheese
1 avocado (peeled, halved, and sliced in half moons)
1 Cucumber (sliced)
2 Tomatoes sliced thin
1 small red onion
10 thin cut slices procsuiito or a good ham
2 oz baby arugela
½ cup sprouts (optional)
¼ cup good Mayonnaise
¼ cup Dijon Mustard
Truffle salt
Tin Foil


Directions
1. Place 3 sheets of tin foil on the counter wide enough and long enough to wrap the whole baguette
2. Place both sided of sliced baguette on tin foil and spread a thin layer of mustard on one side of the bread and the mayonnaise on the other side. A good hummus can be added as well.
3. Layer goat cheese, avocado, cucumber, tomato, ham, arugela, and spouts along the whole baguette making sure each bite will include all ingredients
4. Sprinkle truffle salt along whole sandwich if you feel fancy and a tiny bit of a good balsamic vinegar wont hurt this.
5. Place top on sandwich making sure nothing falls out
6. Wrap tightly with tin foil (smooshing it down a little is actually a good thing)
7. Cut in thirds or fourths depending on the number of people you are feeding
8. Bring it with you to wherever you are hungry for something simple, fulfilling, and amazing! The beach works best!!!!!!!
