FIG AND PROSCIUTTO TARTINE

www.lechefswife.com

This fig and prosciutto tartine recipe is perfect for a special light lunch or an elevated appetizer. The saltiness of the prosciutto, the decadence of the fresh figs and the creaminess of the goat cheese over grilled sourdough baguette is a memorable combination. Add a drizzle of honey and few fresh basil leaves and each bite is positively swoon-worthy.

– 4 fresh figs – 1 3-oz pack of prosciutto – 2 thick slices of large sourdough bread – 4 tablespoons of fresh, soft goat cheese – 1 tablespoon of olive oil – 2 teaspoons of honey – 8 leaves of fresh basil – a pinch of French Sea salt to finish

Ingredients

STEP 1

1. First, slice your sourdough bread about a ½ inch thick 2. Heat your pan over medium high heat, 3. Drizzle olive oil into the pan before putting your sliced sourdough bread.

STEP 2

1. Then drizzle a little more olive oil over the bread and allow to brown for 2-3 minutes before flipping over and browning on the other side. In total this should only take 3-5 minutes. You want a nice golden brown on your bread with a soft interior - don't over cook your bread!

STEP 3

1. Rip the prosciutto slices in half and bunch up on the tartine to add some volume to the dish. You can also lie the slices flat on the bread but it doesn't have the same visual effect. Chef's tip!
