Prosciutto and Fig

Last week Leslie came into town and we went to the new Zeigeist Arts Cafe for a quick dinner. We shared the prosciutto and fig sandwich which was so tasty. Both salty and sweet. Ben and I decided to make our own version this last Saturday before pumpkin carving. It was quite easy and I wanted to share the results. You need these ingredients:

1 french baguette sliced
8 slices of prosciutto
fig spread (I found ours in the deli section)
danish blue cheese
.............
-Fry the prosciutto slices for a few minutes with some oil until the ends get a little crispy and set on paper towels.
-spread the fig on one side of the sliced baguette and blue cheese (just a little-its strong!) on the other.
-add the prosciutto and press the sliced bread together to form a sandwich.

Another thing you can make for a quick snack or app (via Leslie) would be to put fig spread on some baguette slices and top with Mache and honey. Easy, vegetarian, and yummy.
