Who knew that the humble pickle could add so much pep to a grilled ham and cheese? Splitting the baguette four ways makes these a manageable size for devouring! —Louise Gilbert, Quesnel, British Columbia

Ingredients

  • 1 French bread baguette (10-1/2 ounces)
  • 16 slices Swiss cheese
  • 8 thin sandwich pickle slices
  • 4 slices deli ham
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Directions

  1. Cut baguette in half without slicing through completely. Arrange half of the cheese on bottom half. Top with pickles, ham and remaining cheese; sprinkle with paprika. Close sandwich; cut crosswise into four pieces.
  2. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
