Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 4 ounces Prosciutto Adds a savory flavor and richness; substitute with dry-cured ham or turkey for a lighter option.
  • 4 ounces Cheese (Brie or goat cheese) Provides a creamy texture that enhances richness.
  • 1 cups Arugula Offers a peppery freshness; if unavailable, spinach or baby kale makes a good substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Chili Fig Jam Introduces a sweet and spicy note; regular fig jam with a dash of chili flakes can work as a replacement.
  • 1 tablespoon Country Dijon Delivers a tangy, spicy kick; you can use whole grain mustard as an alternative.
  • 2 slices Bread (Crusty) Choose baguette or ciabatta, or opt for gluten-free bread if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar Enhances flavor with acidity; it’s optional but adds depth.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Brings warmth and depth to the sandwich; freshly cracked is best for fuller flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Flaky Sea Salt Provides a finishing touch that contrasts flavors.

  1. Start by selecting your favorite crusty bread, like a baguette or ciabatta. Carefully slice it open lengthwise to create two halves, setting the top half aside.

  3. Layer slices of prosciutto evenly over the chili fig jam.
  4. Add your creamy cheese of choice, spreading it atop the prosciutto.
  5. Add a handful of arugula over the cheese layer.
  6. On the top half of the bread, spread a layer of Country Dijon mustard.
  7. Gently place the top half of the bread onto the arugula-laden base.
  8. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the sandwich and sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
  9. Slice the sandwich into manageable pieces for serving.
