Shaved Ham and Pear Sandwich with Brie Cheese

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Serves 4

Ingredients

  • Your favorite crusty baguette
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons honey mustard
  • 1/2 pound of good quality ham, shaves
  • 2 firm, ripe USA Pears, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 pound Brie cheese, cut into 1/4″ slices

Instructions

  1. Cut the baguette horizontally with a serrated knife into the top and bottom pieces. Hollow out most of the soft center from the top of the baguette to make room for the filling.
  2. Spread the butter into a very thin layer on the bottom slice of the baguette and top with honey mustard.
  3. Pile the shaved ham loosely on top of the honey mustard in an even layer.
  4. Top the ham with the pear slices all along the top of the baguette to fill the hollow space you have created, pressing down gently so that they will stay in place.
  5. Lastly, place the cheese slices all along the top of the baguette to fill the hollow you have created, pressing down gently so that they will stay in place.
  6. Carefully place the top of the baguette into the bottom. Slice the sandwich into four or more sections with your serrated knife.
  7. Enjoy immediately or wrap in paper and take the sandwiches on-the-go.

Heinen's Grocery Store

By Heinen's Grocery Store

In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
