Sandwich Ingredients- 1 Ciabatta bread
- 1 handful fresh lettuce (approx. 3-4 leaves)
- 1 ripe tomato
- 8 slices of ham
- 1.5 Tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1.5 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp ricotta cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the fresh lettuce under running cold water and pat it dry. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Slice the ripe tomato into uniform rounds, about 0.5 cm thick. Prepare 8 generous slices of ham to ensure a hearty filling!
Step 2
Carefully slice the ciabatta bread in half horizontally. On one half, spread 1.5 Tbsp of zesty whole grain mustard. On the other half, generously spread 1.5 Tbsp of smooth mayonnaise. These two sauces will add a wonderful depth of flavor to your sandwich.
Step 3
On the sauced bottom half of the bread, arrange the crisp lettuce leaves. Then, place the tomato slices attractively on top of the lettuce. The fresh vegetables will add a delightful crunch and freshness.
Step 4
Now it’s time for the star of the sandwich: the ham! Fold each slice of ham in half to create a pleasing wave-like pattern as you layer them. This makes the sandwich visually appealing and ensures an even distribution of ham.
Step 5
Dot the ham with 2 Tbsp of creamy ricotta cheese, scattering it generously for added richness. Finally, place the top half of the bread over the filling. Wrap the sandwich tightly with parchment paper or plastic wrap for easy transport. Your elegant Ciabatta Sandwich is ready!
