1
Prepare the Baguette
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise to create a sandwich base.
2
Spread the Mustard
Spread the Dijon mustard evenly on both halves of the baguette.
3
Layer the Ham
Layer the sliced ham generously over one half of the baguette.
4
Add the Cheese
Place thin slices of Gruyère cheese on top of the ham.

5
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter and let it melt. Place the assembled baguette in the skillet, pressing down gently. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
6
Flip and Cook
Carefully flip the baguette and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.

7
Serve the Sandwich
Once the sandwich is grilled to perfection, remove it from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. If desired, sprinkle arugula and add cornichons on the side before slicing and serving.
