Open-Faced Prosciutto & Jam Sandwiches
with Ricotta & Arugula
- Soy
- Wheat
- Milk
The only thing better than a really great sandwich is one that takes just minutes to prepare! Yep, all you have to do is assemble and dig in. This Really Great Sandwich has crusty sourdough bread, sweet peach jam, salty prosciutto, creamy fresh ricotta, and a tangle of lemon-kissed, peppery arugula. All dressed up, this open-faced beauty looks fancy enough to approach with a knife-and-fork, but it’s a sandwich, so get in there with your hands, maybe with your pinkies up.

Reviews from our home cooks
I mixed the jam and a little chili flake into the ricotta to make it easier/less messy to eat. Worked great. It could have used more or a stronger flavored prosciutto. The flavor of prosciutto provided was not very noticeable while eating. But overall this was a very well balanced, flavorful dish!
I love these simple open faced sandwiches, simple, quick, and easy. Each of the ingredients are quality and can stand on their own. Fast and delicious!
Love the simplicity of this one. I added the jam directly on top of the ricotta before I added the arugula. It turns out less messy when you bite into it.
This sandwich is just fabulous! Delicious! So fresh tasting and easy to make! I don't care for the taste of arugula, so I substituted it with some spinach, and it worked for me!
Pretty difficult to eat as an open-faced sandwich, so I made it closed. Prosciutto is hard to cut cleanly, and it definitely needs more jam for the sweetness. The sandwich was just a bit on the dry side.
Spread the jam over the ricotta directly not on top of everything. It'll more evenly disperse the jam and make sure it's in every bite. I also felt like there wasn't enough jam included. I used the packet for 2 open face sandwiches and my own jam for the other two.
I didn't chop the prosciutto or use the jam (I laid the prosciutto flat on top of the ricotta cheese.) However this has become something I make for lunch on my work from home days because it's so quick and requires very little effort. Also I love how fresh, light, and healthy it is.
Great combo of the bitterness of the arugula and the sweetness of the jam - nice job.
Fun to put the lemon and olive oil dressed arugula on the sandwich. And that is one of my favorite simple salads as well...
So easy and good. Love the quality of the prosciutto as well. Just good overall and easy to make quickly
