Ham and Fig-Jam Sandwiches


       This is my new favorite sandwich. One afternoon I was trying to figure out what I
       wanted for dinner, but I knew that I did not want to cook....It was so gorgeous out
       side and this was the dinner I came up with and it was/is amazing. My new go-to
       meal. These are perfect to wrap up and take on a picnic with a loved one. YUM

                                              Ham and Fig Jam Sandwiches

       Ciabatta rolls, Toasted
       4 slices Black Forest ham - I used Boars Head
       Prosciutto
       Fresh mozzarella, sliced thick
       a bunch of baby spinach
       Fig jam
       salt and pepper
       olive oil

        Toast your rolls and layer your ingredients. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
        Put jam on the one side of the roll. Put together and serve. You will be in bliss.

    Val I love these! I love fig jam! My mom makes this pizza with fig jam! I love how you used salty meats too, I bet it was the perfectly sweet and salty!

    What a brilliant idea! This sandwich looks delicious. I have fig jam at home, but always put it on crackers as part of a cheese plate with wine. I never thought about using it on a sandwich (even though it's jam - duh).

    I could gobble up these in a second. I love Stonewall Kitchen Fig Spread. I must try making this sandwich with their spread. Great photo BTW.

    Great idea combining the sweet (fig) and salty (prosciutto) into a meal AND you don't have to turn the oven! Win-win. :)

    Living in Florida, we grill out quite often, but it's those days that we just don't feel like cooking, and this particular sandwich sounds beyond wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing.

    SO crazy! I saw fig jam just the other day and contemplated getting it - but I haven't had much luck with figs so I didn't. Now I'm thinking I need to go back and grab that jar!!!

    Fig and ham?! Nice! I have some coco fig jam in the fridge and was saving it purely for accompanying my cheese but I think I will explore using it with other foods, mmm!
