Sandwiches are a lunchtime favorite at Curative, Inc. a biotechnology company. As head of dining services, Chef Taffel likes to change up the lineup with riffs on classics. This baguette is a takeoff on a club sandwich, made on crusty French bread instead of toast and layered with the usual turkey and bacon, but paired with brie cheese and pears.
Ingredients
8 baguettes (18 in. size)
3/4 cup Dijon mustard
8 oz. unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tbsp. finely chopped fresh tarragon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 lb. thinly sliced roast turkey
72 canned pear slices in juice, drained
48 slices applewood smoked bacon, cooked until crisp and cooled slightly
3 lb. Brie cheese, sliced 1/4-inch thick
9 oz. (about 6 cups loosely packed) baby spinach
Steps
Split the baguettes and lay cut sides-up on a clean work surface. Spread bottom halves with 3 tablespoons mustard each and top halves with 2 tablespoons butter each. Sprinkle the buttered sides with 2 1/2 teaspoons tarragon and salt, and pepper.
Layer ingredients on bottom baguette halves in following order: 3/4 cup spinach leaves, 6 ounces turkey, 9 pear slices, and 6 pieces bacon. Arrange pieces of brie (6 ounces per baguette) on top baguette halves, distributing evenly.
Place two halves together and press gently yet firmly to compact the sandwich. Slice each baguette in 3 and serve immediately.
