- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

How to make Fig, Prosciutto & Balsamic Garlic Ciabatta
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme, 1/2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Slice the ciabatta loaf in half lengthwise. Spread the garlic herb butter evenly over the cut surfaces of both halves of the bread, making sure to spread it to the edges.
- Place the buttered ciabatta halves, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is lightly golden brown and the butter is melted and bubbling.
- While the bread bakes, heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the 4 slices of prosciutto and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove from skillet and break into small pieces.
- Remove the ciabatta from the oven. Evenly spread the 1/4 cup fig preserves or jam over the warm buttered surfaces of the bread.
- Scatter the crispy prosciutto pieces over the fig-spread ciabatta. This adds a salty crunch to balance the sweetness.
- Drizzle the 2 tbsp balsamic glaze artfully over the entire surface of the garlic bread. The glaze adds a beautiful sheen and tangy contrast.
- Transfer the ciabatta to a cutting board, garnish with 1/4 cup fresh arugula leaves for a peppery bite, and slice into individual servings before serving immediately.
