Notes
Recipe developed during December's 2025 AMA Executive Marketer Team Building Event by a team of marketing professionals with the assistance of AI and limited ingredients. During the event we split the baguettes with half ricotta and half goat cheese to accommodate an allergy.I would also suggest to try this recipe vegetarian by omitting the ham and adding about 1 tbsp of grated lemon zest to the ricotta or goat cheese.If you don't have access to LaRosa's Diablo Sauce, you can test with another sweet and spicy sauce. Although, this sauce was really spicy and gave it a real "game-day" kick!
