Bauru Sandwich Recipe - A Delicious Taste of Brazil

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm the sandwich before serving.

Slice and Butter the Rolls:

Slice the French rolls or baguettes lengthwise, creating a pocket for the fillings. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the insides of each roll.

Layer the Fillings:

Place a few slices of roast beef on the bottom half of each roll, ensuring even distribution. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top the roast beef with two slices of Swiss cheese, allowing them to melt slightly over the warm meat.

Add the Tomato Slices:

Layer the sliced tomatoes on top of the melted cheese, adding a refreshing burst of flavor to the sandwich.

Finish with Pickles:

Arrange the sliced dill pickles on top of the tomatoes, adding a tangy and crunchy element that complements the other flavors.

Assemble and Toast:

Close the sandwiches by placing the top halves of the rolls over the fillings. Press gently to secure. Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Toast for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is warm and slightly crispy.

Serve and Enjoy:

Remove the Bauru sandwiches from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Slice them in half diagonally for easier handling. Serve the sandwiches warm and savor the delightful combination of tender roast beef, melted cheese, fresh tomatoes, and tangy pickles.

Optional Variations:

• For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce to the sandwich.
• Customize your Bauru sandwich by adding mayo or mustard to the bread for extra flavor.
• Experiment with different types of cheese, such as provolone or mozzarella, to suit your preferences.
