The Panera Toasted Baguette sandwiches range has been expanded with a series of chef-curated recipes to provide customers with several new options perfect for satisfying cravings for artisan fare. The sandwich range now includes the Black Forest Ham & Gouda Melt, which boasts a blend of artisan-quality ingredients like Black Forest Ham, the brand's new country mustard, smoked gouda and more. Available now, the sandwich is expected to continuing growing the current popularity of the brand's Toasted Baguette range, which was launched in January to the delight of many consumers.
Head Chef Claes Petersson spoke on the new addition to the Panera Toasted Baguette sandwiches range saying, "We're so excited to bring ham back onto the Panera menu, and our focus was on enhancing these sandwiches with amazing, unforgettable flavor that we knew our guests would love. Our chefs created our new delicious country mustard, finding the perfect blend of three mustards to compliment the flavors and create two irresistible new menu items we can't wait for guests to try."
