Instructions
- Heat a griddle pan on a high heat. Drizzle the ciabatta bread with olive oil on both sides and char-grill it on both sides until crispy and toasted. Set aside.
To make the Pecorino Cream
- Finely grate the pecorino and add it to a small container or jug. Add the warm water and blitz with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper and stir in.
- Spread the Pecorino cream on the slices of bread and top with a slice of Prosciutto followed by a few slices of fig.
- Sprinkle over more black pepper and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, serve.
Notes
- Blending the cream - I find it easier to blend the Pecorino cream in a narrow container or a jug. It's not as easy in a larger, regular-sized blender.
- Prepare in advance - the Pecorino cream can be made 2-3 days in advance and stored in the fridge. You can also toast the bread a few hours before assembling.
