How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Slice the baguette

    Slice the baguette in half lengthwise.

  2. Rub the cut side of both halves of the bread

    Rub the cut side of both halves of the bread with the ripe tomato halves until the bread is coated in pulp and juice.

  3. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil

    Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the tomato-rubbed bread and add a tiny pinch of salt.

  4. Layer the slices of Jamón Serrano evenly

    Layer the slices of Jamón Serrano evenly on the bottom half of the baguette. Do not lay them flat; fold or ripple the ham to create volume.

  5. Close the sandwich

    Close the sandwich with the top half of the bread and press down lightly.

A little kitchen wisdom

Quality is key here. Use the best extra virgin olive oil and authentic Jamón Serrano or Iberico if available. For the most traditional experience, rub the bread with a halved tomato until only the skin remains.

What you'll need

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

Best served immediately to prevent the bread from getting soggy from the tomato/oil.

Store & enjoy

Wrap in foil or parchment paper. If stored, do not rub with tomato until ready to eat. Not recommended for reheating; ham fat may render and change flavor.
