Prosciutto and Brie Sandwich with Fig Jam and Spicy Greens

February 16th, 2011

I have an intense, deep-seated obsession with sandwiches. And I truly don’t discriminate; I’m just as content with peanut butter and jelly on white bread as I am with a turkey club piled high. My main issue is that I fall into ruts when I make them for myself, relying on the same boring flavors time and time again. Instead of the normal mayonnaise/mustard routine, I spiced things up a little yesterday. On one side of a sourdough baguette I spread fig jam, with Brie on the other, and added a few slices of prosciutto and some spicy greens to finish. Each flavor complemented the next and I can’t wait to experiment with even more combinations (next up: Burrata with cherry tomatoes, olive tapenade and sea salt).

    Oooooo this looks amazing!! I enjoy sandwiches myself. I also like the combination of salty and sweet. I like putting thin slices of strawberries mixed with balsamic vinaigrette on a sandwich like this. I’m craving a sandwich now. Yummy post!

    While in Montreal I had something very similar at the botanical gardens. Best sandwich I have ever had. Add pesto next time, absolutely amazing.

    Tried this over the weekend, using just arugula for the greens and fig spread instead of jam (not sure of the difference) and it was so yummy! The sweet of the jam and brie mixed with the spicy arugula and salty proscuitto was perfect!
