Toasted Mini Baguettes with Turkey, Swiss Cheese and Caramelized Onions

Whenever we go out to eat and a bread basket is placed on the table, I will inevitably grab the baguette.

The crispy on the outside, soft, warm, and yeasty on the inside baguette – baguettes are one of the few breads whose siren song I am simply unable to resist.

When the wonderful people at Sister Schubert’s contacted me about sampling two of their new products – The Soft Pretzel Rolls and ding ding ding! their new Mini Baguettes well, let’s just say I was more than a bit delighted.  I’ve been a Sister Schubert’s fan for years.
I have talked about them quite a bit in the past, both sponsored and not.

I received bags of both the Soft Pretzel Rolls and the Mini Baguettes to sample, use in recipes or as accents to recipes and well… ummm… they were so good that I had to ask them to send me another bag of each because we kind of devoured them before I had time to y’know — create recipes around them or photograph them. (oops).

I did finally manage to use some and get photographic evidence of them before they hit our tummies! Find out how I use the Pretzel rolls to make Turkey Salad Stuffed Soft Pretzel Rolls

For the Baguettes – which honestly are perfect completely all on their own, torn and swirled in roasted garlic olive oil dipping sauce or pretty much any way you like – I decided that they would make the most wonderful toasted sandwiches, and I was right!

Let me introduce y’all to these delightfully simple to make, yet wonderfully delicious

Sweet Caramelized Onion, Turkey, & Swiss on Toasted Baguette Sandwiches

.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, I melted 4 Tbsp (1/4 C) butter and added one sliced medium sweet yellow onion.

While the butter and heat worked their magic on the onion, I heated up the Mini Baguettes (2) and sliced some of our leftover Turkey – I used my Poblano and Citrus Roasted Turkey recipe.

When the baguettes and the onions were ready I got a slice of Swiss Cheese and laid it out with the rest of the ingredients

I sliced open both baguettes and drizzled the delicious butter and onion sauce from the pan onto the bread

After I drizzled the inside of both the top and bottom of each baguette, I placed sliced turkey on the bottom half of the baguette and topped the turkey with caramelized onions and placed a slice of swiss cheese on the other piece of mini baguette.

I placed these sandwich halves on a cookie sheet facing up and placed them in a 375 F oven for about 7 minutes – until the cheese was melted

I added fresh sliced avocado to my sandwich

YUM YUM YUM

and left Nathan’s as it was.

The resulting sandwiches were…

Well – in a word – Tonguegasmic.

Sadly, the mini baguettes are not available near me yet, however I can order them online from Sister Schubert’s and you can bet your sweet bippy that I’m going to be ordering several bags.
