1
Slice the Baguette
Using a serrated knife, cut the fresh baguette in half lengthwise, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
2
Layer the Ingredients
On the bottom half of the baguette, layer the smoked ham evenly, followed by the Swiss cheese slices, dill pickle slices, and a spread of yellow mustard as desired.

3
Preheat the Grill or Pan
If using a grill, preheat it to medium heat. If using a pan, heat it over medium heat on the stove.
4
Butter the Bread
Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of the baguette halves for a crispy finish.
5
Grill the Sandwich
Place the sandwich on the grill or in the pan. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6
Slice and Serve
Remove the sandwich from the grill or pan. Let it cool for a minute, then slice it into manageable portions. Serve warm.
