How to make a baguette sandwich:
- Slice the baguette lengthwise, then remove.
- Brush the top half with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, and the bottom half with caramelized onion jam.
- Place the rocket along the lower portion. You can use less rocket if you'd like, but I use a lot.
- Slices of Brie should be cut into an angle and placed atop the rocket.
- Place your prosciutto or jamon on top of the Brie after peeling and twirling it into a loose rosette.
- After sandwiching the top and bottom halves, cut them into three pieces.
- Can be eaten immediately, packed for a picnic, or kept for a day in the refrigerator.
