Bring a little &quot;oh la la&quot; to lunch with these easy, essential French sandwiches.

3 Classic French Baguette Sandwiches

crusty baguette

butter

French-style ham, sliced

Emmental

tomatoes,

bloomy rind goat cheese,

ham,

herbes de Provence

arugula,

olive oil, optional

parsley

red wine vinegar (just eyeball it)

Dijon mustard

salt

black pepper

anchovies

shallot (about 1/2 of one shallot clove)

olive oil, divided

bell pepper, red or green, sliced very thin

arugula (about 1 ounce)

eggs,

tomato, sliced

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, almost all the way through, and open.

Slather both sides with the butter. Layer with the ham and cheese. Close, press, and divide into two or three sandwiches.

For the Jambon Beurre

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, almost all the way through, and open. Drizzle the top and bottom baguette halves with olive oil.

Slice the tomato slices in half, so they are in half moons. Slice the goat cheese into thin rounds, then slice them in half into half moons.

If using, layer arugula, then ham onto the bottom of the sandwich. Then add alternating slices of tomato and goat cheese along the length of the sandwich.

Sprinkle with herbes de Provence. Close the baguette, press, and divide into halves or thirds.

For the Tomato Goat Cheese

Make the Vinaigrette: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the parsley, vinegar, Dijon, salt, pepper, anchovies, shallot, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Whisk until emulsified.

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, almost all the way through, and open. Drizzle the top and bottom baguette halves with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

To the vinaigrette, add the tuna, bell pepper, haricots verts, and arugula. Stir to mix well. The tuna will break apart somewhat.

Spread the tuna mixture along the bottom half of the baguette. Layer the sliced hard-boiled egg and olives atop the tuna mixture.

Sprinkle with herbes de Provence. Close the baguette, press hard, and let rest for 2 to 24 hours, preferably weighted down. Tip: Suggestions for weighing down the pan bagnat: the bottom of a cast-iron skillet, or sheet pan with heavy cookbooks on it. Slice into halves or thirds, and serve. Note: If the sandwich will rest for more than two hours, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Before serving, allow to return to near room temperature.

For the Pan Bagnat

Monte Cristo Sandwich: This delightful twist on the classic features layers of ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese nestled between slices of egg-dipped bread, fried to golden perfection. It&#39;s served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a side of raspberry or strawberry jam.

Monte Cristo Sandwich

white bread

turkey

Swiss cheese

milk

salt and pepper (to taste)

unsalted butter

sugar (for serving)

raspberry jam (or strawberry jam, for serving)

Assemble the Sandwiches:

Spread Dijon mustard over two slices of bread. Layer each with two slices of ham, two slices of turkey, and two slices of Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.

Make the Egg Mixture:

In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, and pepper.

Dip and Cook the Sandwiches:

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well coated. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve:

Cut each sandwich in half. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with raspberry or strawberry jam on the side.
