Ingredients
- 1 baguette
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 4 fresh figs, sliced
- 2 oz goat cheese
- Arugula leaves
- Balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 baguette, 4 slices of prosciutto, 4 fresh figs, 2 oz of goat cheese, a handful of arugula leaves, and balsamic glaze.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. While the skillet is heating, slice the baguette in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom for your sandwich.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the baguette halves cut-side down in the skillet. Toast them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- While the baguette is toasting, wash and slice the fresh figs into thin rounds. Set them aside.
- After the baguette is toasted, remove it from the skillet and spread the goat cheese evenly on the cut sides of both halves.
- Layer the prosciutto slices over the goat cheese on one half of the baguette.
- Next, arrange the sliced figs on top of the prosciutto, ensuring an even distribution.
- Add a generous handful of fresh arugula leaves on top of the figs for a peppery bite.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over the arugula for added flavor and sweetness.
- Carefully place the other half of the baguette on top to complete the sandwich.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwich into manageable portions, ideally into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.
- Serve immediately while the baguette is still warm and enjoy your delicious Double Fig Prosciutto Baguette Sandwich!
Tips
- Choose ripe, soft figs for maximum sweetness and best flavor integration.
- Toast the baguette until it's golden and crispy to provide a satisfying crunch.
- Let the goat cheese come to room temperature before spreading for easier application.
- Use high-quality, thinly sliced prosciutto for the most delicate flavor.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze sparingly—a little goes a long way in adding depth.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the sandwich at its peak temperature and texture.
- For an extra gourmet touch, lightly brush the baguette with olive oil before toasting.
