Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 3-4 slices Prosciutto Adds savory depth and richness; substitute with cooked ham or turkey for a lighter option.
  • 2 ounces Creamy Cheese (e.g., Brie or Goat Cheese) Contributes a rich, creamy texture; swap with sharp cheddar for a stronger flavor.
  • 1 handful Peppery Arugula Provides a fresh, peppery taste and crunchy texture; spinach or mixed greens can be used as alternatives.
  • 2 tablespoons Chili Fig Jam Offers a unique sweet and spicy flavor balance; any fruit jam with a hint of spice can be a delicious substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Country Dijon Mustard Adds tanginess and depth; standard Dijon or grainy mustard can also work well.
  • 2 slices Crusty Bread (e.g., Baguette or Ciabatta) Ensures a satisfying crunch; avoid soft sandwich bread for the best texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar Enhances flavor with acidity; red wine vinegar can serve as a great alternative.
