Pain Bagnet is a pressed sandwich filled with produce of the region. It can be found in most café’s but is incredibly easy to make at home and makes a wonderful addition to any picnic spread. The traditional version uses a round loaf specifically baked for the dish but I use the more readily available baguette. The sandwich can be made in advance but is best enjoyed 2-3 hours after it’s made.
