Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Baguette — Choose a crusty baguette with a soft interior for the best texture.
  • Goat cheese — Use a creamy and tangy goat cheese for a rich flavor.
  • Anchovy fillets — If you prefer a milder taste, you can reduce the number of anchovy fillets or substitute them with capers.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle some balsamic glaze over the filling before closing the sandwich.
  • If you're not a fan of anchovies, you can substitute them with grilled zucchini slices for a vegetarian option.
  • Toast the baguette slices before assembling the sandwich for added crunch.
  • Experiment with different types of olives to find your favorite flavor combination.
  • Serve the sandwich with a side of mixed greens dressed in a light vinaigrette for a refreshing accompaniment.

Serving advice

Serve the Monégasque Sailor Sandwich warm, either as a light lunch or a satisfying dinner. Cut it into smaller portions for a delightful appetizer at parties or picnics. Pair it with a side salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, garnish the plate with a sprig of fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley. Cut the sandwich diagonally to showcase the colorful layers of ingredients. Serve it on a wooden cutting board or a rustic platter for a charming touch.
