Best 4 Parmesan Toasts With Prosciutto And Fig Jam Recipes

PROSCIUTTO, FIG AND PARMESAN ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut each piece of prosciutto in half the long way; on each piece, put a slice of Parmesan and a strip of fig. Roll up the long way, pressing so meat sticks to itself. Cover with plastic wrap if not serving right away.
• Serve within 2 hours, drizzling truffle or olive oil on top just before serving.

PROSCIUTTO AND FIG-JAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cut baguette into four 5- to 6-inch-long pieces; split each piece horizontally, leaving one side intact. Spread all bread halves with fig jam; layer bottom halves with prosciutto, cheese, and arugula. Fold halves together, and serve.
• Fig Jam
• In a medium saucepan, combine figs with sugar and the water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer until almost all liquid has evaporated and figs are very tender, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to a food processor; add lemon juice. Puree until smooth (if mixture is too thick, add up to 1/4 cup additional water, a little at a time). Jam can be refrigerated up to 1 month in an airtight container.

FIGS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Arrange prosciutto in overlapping slices on a large platter. Place figs beside prosciutto, drizzle with vinegar, and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
• Sprinkle the Parmesan shavings over prosciutto and figs.

PARMESAN TOAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut baguette at a sharp angle into 1 1/2-inch slices. Spread both sides with butter, if desired, and place on a baking sheet.
• Toast in oven until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• Rub garlic clove on one side of each toast and top with a sprinkling of cheese. Return to oven and toast until cheese is crisp and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn heat down to 350 degrees if toast begins to brown too fast. Serve warm or at room temperature.
