Eli Zabars Fig And Prosciutto Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Remove crusts from bread, and cut each slice into four squares. Spread mascarpone or cream cheese on each square.
• Cut each fig lengthwise into four slices. Place a folded prosciutto slice on each square. Top with a mint leaf and a slice of fig.

Steps:

• Cut 1 baguette or Italian bread into four 5-to-6-inch pieces; split each piece horizontally.
• Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons Fig Spread on all 8 halves; layer 4 halves with 2 slices prosciutto, 2 thin slices Asiago cheese, and 2 or 3 leaves of arugula. Top with remaining bread halves. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Snip the hard stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise through the stem. With a small sharp knife, cut the prosciutto lengthwise into inch-wide strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the center of each fig half, with the ends overlapping. Brush with olive oil and arrange cut-side up on a sheet pan.
• Roast the figs for 10 minutes, until the prosciutto is a little crisp and the figs are warmed through. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Halve the figs lengthways and put them, cut side down, without oil, in a hot griddle pan (or heavy-based frying pan) for 1 minute until charred. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and salt and black pepper to taste, and, while still warm, wrap each half in a little piece of prosciutto.
• Serve as canapés or a starter, garnished with shaved parmesan and fresh mint or rocket leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Scoop out a bit of bread from the centre of the bread halves.
• Mix the oil and basil in a small bowl and drizzle evenly over both bread halves.
• Arrange the prosciutto evenly over the bottom half of the bread.
• Gently spread the cheese over the prosciutto and top the cheese with sliced figs. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and black pepper.
• Cover with the top half of the bread and wrap in aluminum foil, leaving the seam on top open slightly.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and the sandwich is heated through, about 15 minutes. Cut into 8 equal pieces and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a medium pan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 minutes. Place pan in the sink under cold running water until the eggs are cool.
• Peel the eggs. Remove the yolks from 4 of them (save the whites for another use). Chop the 4 yolks with the 4 remaining whole eggs.
• In a medium bowl, gently and quickly mix the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the dill, mix the egg salad once more, and make into sandwiches.

Steps:

• Cut poached chicken breast into 1-inch chunks. Place in a medium bowl, and add lemon juice. Toss to combine.
