A delightful twist on the classic French sandwich, combining savory flavors with a crispy texture.
Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
Ensure the broiler rack is positioned about 6 inches from the heat source for even toasting.
Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Using a baking sheet with a rim prevents any toppings from sliding off during broiling.
Toast the bread under the broiler for about 1 minute on each side until lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the bread to avoid over-toasting.
Spread Dijon mustard evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
Use the back of a spoon for an even spread.
Top each slice with a piece of smoked ham, a few slices of tomato, and a sprinkle of Swiss cheese.
Layer the ingredients evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Return the baking sheet to the broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through broiling for even melting.
Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a touch of color.
