Start preparing the sandwich cake with the filling. Finely chop the ham in a food processor. Add the mustard-cucumber relish and crème fraîche. Finally, stir in the diced bell pepper and finely chopped leek by hand.

Thinly trim the crusts off the loaf bread and then slice the bread horizontally into four slices. Moisten the bottom slice with vegetable broth using a pastry brush, and spread half of the ham filling over it. Place the next slice on top, moisten it, and spread about 1/3 of the cheese filling over it. Continue assembling with one more ham layer. Moisten the top bread slice thoroughly. Wrap the cake in baking paper and place it in a plastic bag. Let it settle overnight in the refrigerator. Pack the remaining cheese filling and store it in the refrigerator overnight as well.

Spread the remaining cheese filling evenly over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate the cake with ham rolls, vegetables, figs, and fresh herbs.
