Ingredients
  

2 slices of crusty baguette or ciabatta bread

2 tablespoons herbed cream cheese

4 slices of prosciutto

4 slices of salami

2 ounces of brie cheese, sliced

4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon whole grain mustard

¼ cup arugula or mixed greens

6-8 slices of dill pickles

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Begin by slicing the baguette or ciabatta in half horizontally. If you prefer a crunchier texture, lightly toast the bread in a skillet or toaster until golden brown and slightly crispy.

    Spread the Cream Cheese: Take one slice of your chosen bread and evenly spread 1 tablespoon of herbed cream cheese over it; repeat the same on the other slice. This creamy layer will serve as a delicious foundation for the flavors to come.

      Layer the Meats: On top of the cream cheese on one slice, arrange the prosciutto slices first, allowing them to drape slightly for a decorative touch. Next, evenly distribute the salami slices over the prosciutto, slightly overlapping them to ensure each bite captures the perfect blend of flavors.

        Add the Cheeses: Place the sliced brie cheese atop the meats, ensuring a good covering. Follow up with the sharp cheddar cheese, which will add a wonderful contrast to the creamy brie and the savory cured meats.

          Spread the Mustard: On the other slice of bread, spread the tablespoon of whole grain mustard evenly. This will introduce a zesty kick that perfectly balances the richness of the cream cheese and the meats’ saltiness.

            Layer the Greens and Pickles: On top of the cheese layer, add the arugula or mixed greens for a fresh crunch. Then, arrange the dill pickle slices over the greens for an added tangy flavor that pairs brilliantly with the other ingredients.

              Drizzle with Honey (Optional): If you enjoy a hint of sweetness, lightly drizzle honey over the pickles. This adds a unique contrast to the sandwich, enhancing the overall flavor profile.

                Assemble the Sandwich: Carefully align the mustard-spread slice of bread on top of the other, gently pressing down to secure all the delightful layers together.

                  Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwich in half diagonally to create manageable portions. If you opted for the basil leaves, scatter fresh leaves over the top for a pop of color and aroma. Serve immediately for the best taste experience!
