Spanish Cured Ham Sandwich
A cold Spanish sandwich of crusty bread rubbed with garlic and tomato, topped with thin slices of Manchego cheese and Serrano ham, finished with olive oil and salt. The cured ham stays cool against the warm toasted bread, the tomato provides acidity and moisture, and the bread offers structure and textural contrast.

Instructions
1
Prep
Slice baguette horizontally and lightly toast the cut sides in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until golden at the edges.
2
Build
Rub the warm bread with halved garlic, then rub the halved tomato over the same surface so the pulp soaks into the crumb.
3
Build
Layer Manchego cheese and folded Serrano ham over the base half, working quickly to keep the ham cool.
4
Plate
Close the sandwich with the top half, press gently to compact, and cut diagonally before serving.
