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.
ROASTED FIGS AND PROSCIUTTO
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Snip the hard stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise through the stem. With a small sharp knife, cut the prosciutto lengthwise into inch-wide strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the center of each fig half, with the ends overlapping. Brush with olive oil and arrange cut-side up on a sheet pan.
- Roast the figs for 10 minutes, until the prosciutto is a little crisp and the figs are warmed through. Serve warm.

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:
- Choose ripe figs. Look for figs that are plump and have a deep purple color. Avoid figs that are bruised or have any blemishes.
- Use a good-quality prosciutto. Prosciutto di Parma is a classic choice, but you can also use a good-quality domestic prosciutto.
- Slice the figs and prosciutto thinly. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the sandwich.
- Spread the fig jam on the bread. You can use a store-bought fig jam or make your own.
- Top with the prosciutto, figs, arugula, and cheese. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or balsamic vinegar, if desired.
- Serve immediately. The sandwich is best enjoyed when it is fresh.
Conclusion:
The prosciutto and fig spread sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a light lunch or snack. The combination of sweet figs, salty prosciutto, and creamy cheese is irresistible. This sandwich is also a great way to use up any leftover figs you may have. If you are looking for a new and exciting sandwich to try, give the prosciutto and fig spread sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed.
