Oven Baked Sammie(Sandwich)

Sandwiches are one of the most versatile things out there. I love them, especially when I go all foodie with them. The Sammie i'm highlighting in this blog has homemade pesto and olive tampenade, what?! Yes, homemade! It does only serve one but its really easy to just add more for a bigger crowd.

oh so ooey, gooey and delicious!!

Oven Baked Sammie

French bread, slice about a 2-3 inch hunk off

1 slice of low sodium ham

1/4 inch size slice of Monterey Jack cheese off the block

1 Tbls Basil Pesto

1 Tbls Olive Tampenade

Slice the hunk of bread in half, then from one piece remove some of the bread, make sure to leave a little intact to the crust. Now spread the pesto on that slice. Slice your ham and cheese in small strips. Place the cheese then the ham on top of the pesto layer, top with more cheese then the tampenade. Put the full silce of bread on top of that and squish down a bit. Wrap the whole thing very tightly in foil, place on a baking sheet in case of leakage and bake at 400 degrees F for about 15-20 minutes, you want the cheese nice and melty. There ya have it folks, now go and make this wonderful thing, don't be afraid to experiment, put anything you like, turkey with cranberry sauce, roast beef, horseradish sauce and cheddar, tomatoes and mozzarella for caprese style. Happy cooking my friends and remember to keep it homemade!!!
