  • 4 dried figs quartered vertically
  • Balsamic fig glaze optional

Instructions

  • Spread cream cheese thinly on each slice of baguette.
  • Divide serrano ham slices into 4 equal pieces. Top cream cheese with a piece of ham. Crimp ham so it is scrunched up a bit and leaves some cream cheese surface open.

  • Drizzle lightly with Balsamic Fig Glaze if using.

Notes

Notes:  
You can  substitute any dried  ham such Speck or Prosciutto for the Serrano.
The Balsamic Fig Glaze is optional but adds a nice touch.  A plain Balsamic Glaze (reduction) works too.
