Fico Panino

Alright bare with me here and open up your mind and taste buds for this recipe.  If you love cheeses and sweets then you are going to fall over for this one.

Simplicity is truly the key to this dish for it only contains four simple ingredients delicately placed in between two lovely toasted bread of your choice.

I used your ordinary store bought whole wheat bread, fresh cilantro, generously spread fig jam, thinly sliced pear and Parmigiano Reggiano.  Serve with your favorite champagne or rose wine, this afternoon delight will truly take you to the cosmos and back.

As simple as it sounds, is as simple as it is.  Inspiration for this meal came from a trip to Manhattan, NY last summer and dinning in at the most bohemian feel type of restaurant.  Check out their website because the food and atmosphere there is definitely something you have never experienced before.

The more Parmigiano Reggiano the better this sandwich is.  :)
