Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 slices sourdough bread
4 tablespoons fig preserves
1/2 lb brie cheese
4 ounces prosciutto
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Spread the fig preserves onto 4 slices of bread.
  • Cut the Brie into 8 long, thin slices.
  • Lay 2 slices of Brie over the preserves. (I have also used creme de brie since I don't really care for the rind of Brie. If you go this route you can just spread the creme de Brie over the other slices of bread.).
  • Arrange the prosciutto over the Brie.
  • Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread.
  • Spread half of the butter over the tops of the sandwiches and invert onto a hot skillet or pan.
  • Spread the remaining butter on the other side of the sandwiches.
  • Cook on the stove or in the oven, turning the sandwiches over once or twice, until the bread is golden brown and the Brie is melted.
  • Cut in half to serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe figs. If you can't find fresh figs, you can use dried figs, but be sure to soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
  • If you don't have prosciutto, you can use another type of cured meat, such as ham or salami.
  • Use a good quality bread for your sandwich. A crusty baguette or a soft ciabatta roll would be a good choice.
  • Be generous with the fig spread and the prosciutto. The more you use, the better your sandwich will taste.
  • If you want a warm sandwich, you can grill it in a panini press or on a griddle.

Conclusion:

The prosciutto and fig spread sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet figs, salty prosciutto, and creamy cheese is simply irresistible. Whether you make it with fresh or dried figs, grilled or cold, this sandwich is sure to please everyone at your table.
