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 (4 ounces)

Instructions

  1. 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.

  3. On two slices of bread, layer the sliced ham evenly, followed by the creamy brie cheese, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomato slices.
  4. Season the fillings with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  5. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mustard side down, to complete the sandwiches.
  6. 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.
  7. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap them up for a delicious on-the-go meal.
