Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 lices ciabatta or crusty bread
  • 2-4 fresh figs ripe
  • 8 lices prosciutto
  • 1 cup (100g/3.5oz) Pecorino Romano cheese finely grated
  • ¼ cup (60ml) water warm
  • black pepper freshly ground
  • extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. 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

  1. 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.
  2. Spread the Pecorino cream on the slices of bread and top with a slice of Prosciutto followed by a few slices of fig.
  3. 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.
