Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Start preparing the Honey-Mustard Mayonnaise.
Honey-Mustard Mayonnaise
Put the vinegar, egg, mustard, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade or whisk attachment.
Turn the machine on and, with the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, continuing to beat the mixture until all of the oil has been added and a good thick mayonnaise has formed.
Add the honey and pulse the machine to blend it in. You should have about 1 ½ cups (375 ml), enough for many sandwiches; use liberally to taste, reserving the rest in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Ham and Brie Baguette Sandwich
Bake the baguette for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven until it is good and crisp.
With a bread knife, cut the baguette crosswise into two equal pieces; then, split each piece horizontally lengthwise in half, taking care not to cut all the way, so that it opens like a book.
Coat the inside surfaces generously with the Honey-Mustard Mayonnaise.
Layer the ham, cheese and Romaine inside each baguette half, adding sliced tomato, pickles and onion if you like. Close each sandwich securely and enjoy! Bon Appetit!
