Prosciutto and Brie Sandwiches with Rosemary Fig Confit Recipe

  • 4 ciabatta rolls (about 4 inches square) or a long loaf (about 20 inches) French or Italian bread
  • about 1/2 cup rosemary fig confit
  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1/4 pound Brie, cut into thin slices
  • 1 cup dried Calimyrna figs, chopped fine
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • Ciabatta rolls are available at some specialty bakeries.
  1. With a serrated knife halve rolls horizontally or cut loaf diagonally into 4 pieces, halving each piece horizontally.
  2. Spread cut sides of bread with confit and make 4 sandwiches with prosciutto and Brie.
  3. In a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan stir together ingredients and simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Remove lid and simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, until most liquid is evaporated and mixture is thickened. In a food processor coarsely purée fig mixture. Confit may be made 5 days ahead and chilled, covered.
