Step-by-Step Instructions

Gather the sandwich components. Use liver pâté, liver paste, or canned liver spread, and have the ham, mayonnaise, vegetables, herbs, and pickled carrots and daikon ready before assembling.

Prepare or drain the pickled carrots and daikon. If they are very wet, pat them lightly with a paper towel so the baguette stays crisp.

Split the baguette lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Toast it until the outside is crisp and the inside is warm, then spread the cut sides with liver pâté and mayonnaise.

Layer in the ham, cucumber, lettuce, pickled carrots and daikon, and cilantro. Arrange the fillings evenly so every bite has crunch, herbs, and savory meat.
