- Feel free to add some fresh arugula or sliced tomatoes to the filling for added freshness and crunch.
- Experiment with different types of cured meats, such as prosciutto di Parma or Serrano ham, to vary the flavors.
- Serve the ficelle with a side of mixed greens dressed in a light vinaigrette for a complete meal.
