Sandwich Score  
out of 100 · very good

Very good, with one move worth +10.

Reads as a fully realized grilled cheese, two of six roles on the board.

**Holding the summit:** a third role on the board (an acid, a sauce, an aroma or a crunch)

The seven flavor axes of the whole sandwich, each summed across its layers. The shaded ring is the catalog's middle 80%; the small number under each axis is where this sandwich falls in the catalog. A shape that sits inside the ring is in the range most sandwiches live in; a spike past it is where this one stands apart.

## What each layer brings

| Layer                             | Role    | Flavor and texture                     | Points    |
| --------------------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------- | --------- |
| french baguettescored as Baguette | bread   | crispy soft flaky                      | the frame |
| ham                               | protein | salt 4 umami 4 fat 3 soft silky tender | **+3**    |
| whipped butterscored as Butter    | fat     | fat 5 creamy silky                     | **+22**   |
| brie                              | protein | fat 5 umami 3 salt 2 creamy soft melty | **+3**    |

Points: what the Sandwich Score would lose if that one layer were left out, everything else the same. A negative number means the sandwich scores higher without it. Flavor runs 0 to 5 on each axis.

## Pairings

- **Baguette + Butter**: the paris standard: sweet butter on crackling crust
- **Ham + Butter**: jambon-beurre: sweet butter on salty ham

## How to raise it

- Judged as a grilled cheese: richness, thinness and seasoning are not held against it.
