Step by step recipe

• 1: Toast 4 slices bread, then rub all over with half a shallot.
• 2: Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
  Arrange the toasted bread on a baking sheet and add a slice of ham on each.
• 3: Add a few tomato slices.
• 4: Finish with slices of 150 g Saint-nectaire and, if you like, grind some black pepper over.

Remarks

You can use another soft-paste cheese instead of Saint-Nectaire.
The bread can also be rubbed with half a garlic clove.
[Translator's note: Saint-Nectaire comes from the Auvergne, a region noted for its fine cheeses, traditionally cured ham and large loaves of delicious and substantial rye bread]
