Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply savoring a taste of France on your own, these bistro sandwiches bring the charm of Paris straight to your table. And you’ll be making them on repeat!
Comté et Pâté
Imagine biting into a crusty baguette layered with slices of nutty Comté cheese and our Grand Marnier Pâté. Add a spread of mustard, thinly sliced cornichons, and radishes for an extra layer of flavor and crunch. The creamy, aromatic pâté melds perfectly with the cheese and accompaniments, with a taste that transports you to a cozy corner of a Parisian café.
Jambon Beurre
The Jambon Beurre is the epitome of French simplicity and elegance. A freshly baked baguette is generously spread with rich, creamy butter, and then filled with slices of delicate Paris ham. For an extra touch of luxury, add our Duck Liver & Pork Mousse, infusing this classic with a velvety richness that enhances its timeless appeal. A sprinkle of black pepper adds just the right amount of spice to set it off right!
Pan Bagnat
Originating from the sun-drenched shores of Nice, Pan Bagnat is a vibrant medley of star flavors. Layers of tuna, tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, olives, and anchovies are nestled inside a crusty roll. Our Earthy Mushroom Pâté adds an umami depth, elevating this refreshing, picnic-perfect delight. Drizzle with olive oil and a dash of red wine vinegar for an irresistible taste of the Mediterranean and a new lunch favorite.
Saucisson Sec
Picture yourself in the rustic countryside of France with a Saucisson Sec sandwich. Thin slices of dry-cured sausage are paired with our Pâté de Campagne spread on a crusty baguette. Add a handful of peppery arugula and a few slices of ripe tomato to this hearty combo, delivering a taste that evokes the traditional flavors of rural France.
French-Thai Fusion
For a contemporary twist, try a French-Thai fusion Banh Mi. Start by spreading our Chicken Liver Pâté on a baguette, then add crisp slices of cucumber, pickled carrots, fresh cilantro, and jalapeños. A dash of soy sauce and a squeeze of lime juice bring the vibrant, aromatic Thai flavors together with classic French elements.
