This is not your ordinary sandwich you pack your kid for lunch. Luckily, I had a mother who knew I had a more sophisticated palate than my classmates. Filled with prosciutto, pesto, parmesan cheese, and arugula, this sandwich is deliciously gourmet.

For the Pesto
- 1 bunch basil, washed and dried very well
- 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup olive oil
For the Sandwich
- 1/4 of a baguette, sliced in half, lengthwise
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- 5 slices prosciutto
- 1/2 cup arugula
- 2 Tablespoons parmesan cheese shavings
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Place bread slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle the bread lightly with olive oil and parmesan shavings and place in the oven. Toast the baguette for 10 minutes, or until golden.
- For the pesto: combine all of the ingredients except for the oil in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Gradually add the oil until it is mixed together.
To make the sandwich
- Spread a spoonful of pesto onto both sides of the bread. Next, sprinkle the arugula on to the bread. Place the prosciutto slices on top and close the sandwich. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe for pesto calls for more than what you need for the sandwich. Use the left overs for pasta, chicken, or dip for veggies!
