Preparation

Step 1

Grill as many bread slices as will fit in a single layer (preferably over
charcoal or wood). cook until they are golden brown, turning only once (3 - 5
minutes); slightly charred edges are good. Remove the bruschetta and lightly
coat with olive oil. Rub the garlic clove lightly over one side of the bread
to flavor it.

* The bruschetta can be prepared in a 450°f oven.

wipe the figs clean with a damp cloth or paper towel. slice them into
1/4-inch rounds. Cover the bruschette with overlapping fig slices. drape the proscuitto over the fig slices. grind black pepper over the proscuitto and serve
se rve. I~
