Vegan Jambon Buerre

Vegan Jambon Buerre

This vegan take of the French inspired jambon beurre (ham & butter) sandwich is not only easily veganized but has a delicious twist. The butter used for the base of the sandwich is a pickle butter! It’s slightly tangy, herby and just brilliant! The recipe will feed two people easily but use an entire baguette for more. The components are simple, pickle butter, dijon mustard, plant based ham and a fresh baguette. If you have an aversion to pickles and / or mustard, feel free to keep the sandwich classic with simplpy vegan butter & ham.
