Step 1

Begin by making your fig jam! In a food processor or blender, add your figs with 2 tablespoons water and blend until a thick and smooth consistency forms. You don’t want it too watery, and I prefer a little bit of chunks, so just a few pulses.

Step 2

Place in a sauce pan and add your sugar, lemon juice and zest of a lemon with salt. Reduce everything down for about an hour, at medium-low heat, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture has thickened significantly and turned into a jam! Set aside in a container and let cool, then place in the fridge.

Step 3

In the meantime, slice and toast your bread and remove. Rub garlic on the toast. Spread on your jam, then sliced Mt. Tam cheese, then a slice of prosciutto. Top with lemon zest, oil, salt and pepper. Serve!
