Fresh Fig and Prosciutto Sandwich image

An adopted recipe! Two of my favorite foods - figs and prosciutto. Note by the original chef "I just love this bountiful sandwich it is equally good cold--just eliminate the baking. Recipe adapted from: The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook"

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 soft French rolls or 4 Italian rolls
10 -12 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thickly sliced (make sure to use fresh)
8 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
1/4-1/2 cup fig jam or 1/4-1/2 cup fig preserves, to taste
soft butter

Steps:

  • Split each roll, and layer with the mozzarella and prosciutto.
  • Spread the top slices with the fig jam, then close up to form sandwiches.
  • Lightly butter the outside of each sandwich.
  • Heat a heavy nonstick skillet or panini press over med-high heat.
  • Place the sandwiches in the pan, working in two batches depending on the size of the pan.
  • Press the sandwiches or close the grill and brown, turning once or twice, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted; **you can press the sandwiches by weighting them with something heavy-such as a skillet or wide-bottomed saucepan.
  • Though the rolls start off as round, once pressed they are considerably flatter and can easily be turned, if careful.
  • Serve right away, cut on the diagonal.
