Instructions

2. Thinly slice the fresh mozzarella into four rounds (or eight rounds if making 4 servings).
3. In a medium bowl, toss the mixed greens with 2 teaspoons olive oil and balsamic vinegar to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Spread fig jam evenly on the cut sides of the ciabatta halves. Layer prosciutto, mozzarella slices and a small handful of the dressed salad on the bottom half. Close the sandwich with the top half.
5. Slice the sandwich diagonally if desired. Serve with the remaining salad on the side.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of bread?

Yes, any crusty bread like a baguette or sourdough works well. Just slice and toast as desired.

How do I store leftover sandwiches?

Store assembled sandwiches in the refrigerator for up to a day, but for best texture, keep the salad separate and add it just before eating.
