On total impulse, today I made myself and mum a tasty baguette for lunch after wanting to recreate one made by my local tea room. It's basically Italy in bread; green pesto, fresh mozzarella and prosciutto ham - heck, it's even the colours of their flag, and it's the yummiest lunch I've had in a while.
After baking the baguette (as it was half baked when bought), I sliced it in two, and then sliced cuts down each middle for the fillings. I sliced 1 ball of fresh mozzarella into 6 after draining the brine and placed three in each baguette half on top of a spread of green pesto. I added a piece and a half of the prosciutto ham in each baguette, and cooked them in the grill to crispen the bread, and begin to melt the mozzarella. I just took them out when I was happy with how they looked.
It's as easy as that! As well as covering a lot of the food groups, especially if you add some greenery on the side like I did, it makes a super delicious alternative to your regular cheese sandwich.
