- 1
Take all ingredients out of the refrigerator and prepare a large, stable cutting board.
- 2
Arrange ingredients in piles on the board: ham, salami, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and cornichons if using.
- 3
Using a large chef's knife, chop all ingredients together with regular rocking motions until you have a finely chopped, homogeneous filling.
- 4
Gather the chopped filling in the center of the board. Add the mayonnaise and mustard directly on top, then mix with a spatula or knife until the sauce evenly coats all ingredients.
- 5
Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- 6
Cut your ciabatta or baguette lengthwise. For extra flavor, lightly toast it in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
- 7
Generously fill the bottom half of the bread with the chopped mixture, close with the top half, and press lightly to hold everything together. Serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Tip
The secret to a perfect chopped sandwich lies in the fineness of the chop and the quality of the charcuterie. Chop really finely so each bite contains a bit of everything. Add a dash of balsamic vinegar to your mayo-mustard mixture for a little acidity that balances the richness of the charcuterie and cheese.
