Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Herbed goat cheese — If you can't find herbed goat cheese, you can mix plain goat cheese with your favorite herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and chives, to create your own herbed goat cheese.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle some balsamic glaze over the filling before closing the ficelle.
  • If you prefer a warm and melty filling, you can toast the ficelle in a panini press instead of baking it in the oven.
  • 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.

Serving advice

Serve the Ficelle with Herbed Goat Cheese and Prosciutto as a delightful appetizer or as part of a brunch spread. It pairs well with a glass of crisp white wine or a refreshing sparkling water.

Presentation advice

To present the ficelle beautifully, slice it diagonally into smaller portions and arrange them on a wooden cutting board or a decorative platter. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an elegant touch.
