Ingredients
- Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons
- Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Tomato
- 1, sliced
- Lettuce
- 1 cup, washed and dried
- Bread
- 4 slices (your choice: baguette, whole grain, or sourdough)
- Brie cheese
- 4 ounces, sliced
- Sliced ham

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise until smooth. This creamy blend brings a delightful tang that enhances the overall flavor of the sandwich.
- Generously spread the Dijon-mayo mixture onto one side of each slice of bread.
- On two slices of bread, layer the sliced ham evenly, followed by the creamy brie cheese, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomato slices.
- Season the fillings with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, mustard side down, to complete the sandwiches.
- For an extra touch, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and toast the sandwiches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the brie begins to melt.
- Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap them up for a delicious on-the-go meal.
Tips
- For added flavor, try using flavored mustard or a sprinkle of herbs like thyme or basil.
- Feel free to add other ingredients like avocado slices or pickles for an extra layer of taste.
- If you prefer a cold sandwich, skip the toasting step and enjoy it as is!
