Pretty much nothing can compare to the wholesome goodness and lovely warm savoury sensation of grilled sandwiches if what you're after is some simple yet tasty fare. This clever variation of the old dejeuner classic is also no slouch when it comes to nutritional content and quite simply hits the ball out out of the park where taste is concerned!

1 long thin loaf (18 inches) - French bread
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/4 c bold & spicy mustard
