This Prosciutto Baguette relies on only a few quality ingredients, yet it stands out for flavor and longevity in the picnic basket–It’s a classy way to avoid soggy sandwich issues.

Not all picnic sandwiches are created equal. This is why I love a picnic baguette sandwich, especially one that does not rely on loads of fillings to make it special.

  • Fig, Goats Cheese & Prosciutto Baguette Sandwich

This baguette is so simple yet offers a perfect blend of flavors from salty to sweet thanks to prosciutto, soft goat cheese, and sweet figs. While its ingredients feel sophisticated, its sturdy build makes it ideal for various picnic styles, whether hiking, having a beach picnic, or enjoying a romantic picnic for two.

And much like my fig and chicken baguette, you can cut it into smaller portions secured with a bamboo sandwich pick and serve it as picnic finger food or add it to an antipasto platter.  

Ingredients

A wooden board with a crusty fig and prosciutto baguette labelled with the ingredients.

See my recipe card below for a complete list of the ingredients with measurements and notes.

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

  • Figs: If you don’t have fresh figs, use a quality fig chutney or fig spread instead.
  • Goat Cheese: I like to use soft goat cheese in a block or roll like the French-style Chevre goat cheese. You can also use spreadable goats cheese. Dollop it on the figs rather than spread it on the bread as this will add to the taste and texture of the sandwich. 
  • Optional Additions: If you did want to add anything to this sandwich, I would recommend thinly sliced red onion and or some greens such as baby spinach or arugula. This sandwich has such bold flavors it doesn’t need too much more. 

How to Make

  • Cut the baguette longways. Optional – butter the inside of the baguette.
  • Layer the prosciutto loosely in folds along the bottom half of the baguette. For a large baguette, approximately 4-5 slices. For a small baguette, 2-3 slices.
  • Layer with slices of figs and cheese, alternating them down the length of the sandwich. If using a spreadable cheese, either dollop it on top of the figs or spread it along the underside of the top half of the baguette.
  • If adding red onion, layer on top of the figs and cheese.
  • Close the sandwich and wrap
  • If making one large baguette, wrap it in paper. Tie sections with string and cut into portions. If making two small baguettes, wrap them tightly in paper and tie them with a string or eco-reusable sandwich wrap.

Expert Tips

  • Baguette: Using a quality crusty baguette, I like to use sourdough if possible. It gives you the foundation for a picnic sandwich that will last – it may even get better with time.
  • Quality Ingredients: Use the freshest figs, high-quality prosciutto, and creamy, tangy goat cheese. Fresh ingredients make all the difference in flavor.
  • Drink pairing for this sandwich: I always turn to a light, crisp white wine or a Prosecco for this sandwich. A fruity rosé also pairs well with the sandwich’s flavors. For a non-alcoholic option, consider iced tea or homemade lemonade.
