Gosh, what a delight. This is a hungover Sunday morning meal for the gods. Cheese. Meat. Fried bread. Dream upon dream, joy upon joy. The route to happiness has opened before us.
I, probably like you, saw the fig in the recipe and originally thought ‘nah, I’m okay thanks’ but it’s a superb addition. You could easily get by without it, but I urge you not to.
Nigella’s At My Table – I first saw it on her TV show but then zoomed straight to the book – is what we can thank for this.
Good things: everything.
Bad things: I’ve had healthier things in my life. But fig is fruit, so it can’t be that bad, right?
Ingredients & requirements: for yourself
- 2 slices of white bread
- brie (make sure it’s out of the fridge so easily spreadable)
- 1 fig
- 2-3 slices of prosciutto
- 4 teaspoons of unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
Preparation & cooking
Reflections:
Most Friday’s now I make sure I have the 4 key ingredients in the house for a hungover Saturday or Sunday morning. Brie, bread, fig and prosciutto. Bosh, done.
As you can see, it’s really not more than 7-8 mins to do. I made it for my mama and nana on Christmas Eve, and they absolutely loved it. I was listening to our beloved Mary Berry last night, and she was talking about the easiest way to make great food is to make it a bit a different. This recipes does that easily.
Next weekend make sure you try this one out!
