Preparation: 20 minutes
Serving size : 1 sandwich
If you're lucky enough to have visited the city of Nice before, you'll recognize right away that this recipe is a tribute to their famous pan bagnat. The pan bagnat is a traditional recipe of the Niçoise cuisine. It is a sandwich made with a round piece of bread, and the ingredients are similar to the niçoise salad, so anchovies, vegetables, black olives and olive oil. Since it is difficult to find the specialised bread in Canada, we've made a few modifications to the recipe. We strongly advise that you assemble the sandwich at the last minute so that the bread does not become soggy
