“The simplicity of this recipe means it relies on high-quality ingredients. What sets our baguette apart is that we use organic Khorasan flour, an ancient grain. Benton’s, located in the Smoky Mountains, has been curing and smoking bacon and ham since 1947. Sequatchie Cove Creamery is just a 45-minute drive from us, and the Cumberland cheese is an alpine-style cheese with tasting notes of cultured buttermilk and sweet grass. The richness of the cheese balances the bold flavors from the ham, resulting in a balanced, addictive, and easy-to-make sandwich.” – Issac Behr
