Barros Jarpa Franconian Style

Ingredients

In this Franconian adaptation, we substitute the traditional Chilean bread with crusty Franconian bread, which adds a unique texture and flavor to the sandwich. Additionally, we use Franconian cheese instead of the original cheese to incorporate the flavors of the target cuisine. We alse have the original recipe for Barros Jarpa, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Franconian ham — Make sure to choose a high-quality, thinly sliced Franconian ham for the best flavor and texture.
• Franconian cheese — Opt for a semi-hard Franconian cheese, such as Tilsiter or Butterkäse, for a creamy and melty texture in the sandwich.

Tips & Tricks

• For added flavor, you can spread mustard or mayonnaise on the inside of the bread slices before assembling the sandwich.
• If you prefer a crispier texture, you can brush the outside of the bread slices with olive oil instead of butter before grilling.
• Feel free to add sliced tomatoes or pickles to the sandwich for extra freshness and tanginess.
• Serve the sandwich with a side of Franconian sauerkraut for a traditional Franconian twist.
• Experiment with different types of Franconian cheese to find your favorite combination.

Serving advice

Serve the Barros Jarpa Franconian Style sandwich hot, straight from the grill. Cut it in half diagonally for a visually appealing presentation. Pair it with a side of Franconian potato salad or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, you can garnish the plate with a sprig of fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives. Serve the sandwich on a wooden cutting board or a rustic plate to add a touch of Franconian charm.
