Split the baguette section lengthwise, leaving a hinge along one side to open like a book. Slice the ham and cheese thinly; slice the cornichons lengthwise.

Toast
Place the split baguette cut-side up under a grill at medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and crisp at the edges.

Build
Spread butter on one cut side and mustard on the other. Layer ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato and cornichons on the bottom half, season with black pepper, close and press gently.
4
Plate
Cut the sandwich diagonally in half and serve immediately while the bread is still crisp.
