Ohhhh... that looks tasty.  Reminds me of what we call a strada.  You can put almost anything you want in them, but they're all savory and good.

Actually, Strata is what I was searching for when I found that recipe.

You mean this?

Fiat Strada (in English-speaking countries only, it was sold as the Ritmo everywhere else), 1978-1988 (1979-1982 in North America).
Fiat’s horrible reputation for unreliability doomed the car in the US/Canada market. UK version pictured.

Fiat Strada, 1996-present. (Not sold in the US or Canada.)

Sliced sourdough bread? How sacrilegious! Sourdough should always be baked in a freeform loaf-shape!

It's what I bought at the store. It tastes just as good, and it won't spoil as fast as a bakery loaf.

You don’t eat the whole loaf within a day or two? The French buy their bread fresh daily! I’d check to see what kinds of preservatives they added to your ‘bread.’

That's pretty much a croque monsieur. Croque monsieur isn't necessary just ham and cheese in between the slices

Sorry to break it it you like this but no we don't always do 🤷🏻‍♀️ when making croque monsieur or something like Page's receipt we'd use "pain de mie" which doesn't have a crust or if it does it's a soft crust, it's sell as a sliced loaf. There are multiple kinds: plain or white, sourdough, with or without crust...

If I remember from my time in England that's pretty much sandwich bread which is Page's receipt

But we also make sandwiches with baguette which we bought daily or so (well if you're a poor college student first you usually don't eat a whole baguette in one day and second you eat it even if it's not fresh anymore)

Mon Dieu! What is this world coming to! (I freeze loafs of uncut sourdough bread so I can reheat it in the oven later.)

Until you figure out a way to keep those rustic loaves from going stale, I'm sticking with the factory-made bread.

I've tried that before. It never tastes as fresh as it does on the day it was bought.

Another recipe that I enjoy https://smittenkitchen.com/2009/07/blueberry-boy-bait/

It sure lives up to its name. I usually have to make two batches, or I'd never get a bite in, edgewise, before Mickey and his friends make it disappear.

I gained 5kg whilst driving Europe during the summer. I blame Sicily - hot days, sitting by the pool and eating too much amazing pizza. Since returning to England, I went keto and lost the 5kg in five weeks. I substituted beer and wine (sadly) for gin. Lattes for Americano. No bread, rice or sugar. Besides acting like a maniac the first week, my energy returned and my body adapted. I would much rather alter my diet instead of languish at the gym or try to get motivated to run on uneven payment in near freezing temperatures.

The butcher and fishie know me now because I am always buying fresh stuff. It seems, win-win. Gin is much better than beer too!
