Crunchy, salty, sweet, earthy and so incredibly satisfying is how to describe this sandwich. Last weekend I made fig jam and was thinking of creative ways to use it. While driving home from work, my creative thoughts were spinning in my head and this sandwich popped up. I thought it would be simple yet full of flavor. It actually exceeded my expectations. I could have certainly eaten more than one, but refrained. My husband did eat two and couldn’t believe how tasty they were. We actually had those two nights in a row for dinner.
Black Forest Ham, Cheese and Fig Jam Sandwich
Ciabatta Bread
Black Forest Ham, Deli sliced
Jarlsburg Cheese, Deli sliced
Fig Jam
Slice ciabatta bread about ¾ inches thick. Spread about 2 teaspoons of fig jam onto the slice. Add three slices of the ham and top with a half of a slice of jarlsburg cheese. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay the sandwiches onto a cookie baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes.
Never heard of black forest sandwiches, usually I go for just the cake. But this looks great!
ReplyDeleteWow, now that is a creative sandwich!
ReplyDeleteLooks good for all the reasons that you've noted! Love the fig jam!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! This looks fabulous. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see this. I always seem to do something like this when we travel and my husband thinks I'm weird. I always add jam to ham and cheese to balance flavors out. I think I got it from my grandmother.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the jam is never fancy like yours here but it's completely the same idea. Love that you posted this. I'll have to "borrow" your fig jam recipe. Thanks!
Yum! I recently decided that figs might be ridiculously delicious :) And now I'm loving all the posts you have related to them!
ReplyDeleteDo you know how hard it is not to eat anything in site after reading your blog?
