Add an ideas

Variety is the spice of life, and this sandwich recipe offers ample room for personal touches:

• Swap out the baguette for ciabatta, sourdough, or a wrap for a different take.
• Not a fan of parmesan? Try thinly sliced provolone cheese, melty mozzarella cheese, American cheese, or a smoky gouda.
• Replace arugula with baby spinach, kale, lettuce or even a crisp romaine.
• If truffle aioli isn’t your thing, mustard, creamy horseradish sauce, or a balsamic glaze can add a punchy twist.
• Add some caramelized onions and red pepper.

Storage

This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the individual components ahead of time and assemble them just before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy. If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to one day.
