🛒 Ingredient Tips
The key ingredients that determine the taste of this sandwich are sesame bagel, jambon, and fig jam.
For the sesame bagel, choose one with a chewy exterior, moist interior, and fragrant sesame aroma.
Products with a satisfying chew, like London Bagel, will lead to greater satisfaction.
For jambon, select thinly sliced products, like Salthouse (소금집) brand, that are not too salty and retain the natural flavor of pork.
Good jambon elevates the quality of the sandwich.
For fig jam, it's best to choose an organic product that isn't overly sweet and contains visible fig pieces.
Organic jams like Comme de Provence, which have fewer artificial flavors and a natural sweetness, will make the sweet-and-savory combination shine.
For arugula, choose fresh, green leaves without any wilting to add a crisp texture and fresh aroma.
🔄 Substitution Guide
The core ingredients of this sandwich can be substituted, but this may alter the taste and texture.
First, instead of a sesame bagel, you can use a plain bagel, sliced bread, or ciabatta.
Sliced bread will result in a softer texture, while ciabatta adds a crispy exterior and chewy interior.
Second, thinly sliced ham or prosciutto can be used in place of jambon.
Prosciutto is saltier and has a stronger distinct flavor than jambon, lending an Italian touch.
Third, if fig jam is unavailable, you can substitute it with a sweet and sour berry jam like raspberry or blueberry jam.
However, this may give a slightly different flavor profile than the subtle sweetness characteristic of fig jam.
For cream cheese, mascarpone cheese or Greek yogurt can be used for a lighter, fresher taste.
Arla Havarti cheese is characterized by its savory and smooth flavor, but substituting with Emmental or cheddar cheese will result in a different taste.
🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
While this sandwich has a simple preparation, keeping a few key points in mind will make it even more delicious.
First, the amount of jam and cream cheese.
Fig jam and cream cheese are central to this sandwich's sweet-and-savory appeal, so spread them generously on one side of the bread.
Applying too little may weaken the flavor.
Second, arrange the jambon and arugula nicely.
Rolling the jambon or folding it in a zigzag pattern makes it look appealing and easier to eat.
For arugula, place just enough so it peeks out slightly from between the bread layers, rather than piling it too high.
Third, there's no need to toast the bread.
As per the recipe tip, you can enjoy the sandwich as is, with the moistness of the ingredients creating a delicious combination.
If you prefer a crispy exterior with a soft interior, lightly warm the bread in a toaster or pan for about 1-2 minutes.
Be careful not to toast for too long, as it can make the bread tough.
👨🍳 Directions
Place cherry tomatoes and whole garlic cloves in an oven-safe dish. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (to taste), then drizzle generously with olive oil.
Cook in an air fryer or oven at 350-375°F (180-190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes and garlic are tender and softened.
Toast the bread until crispy, either in a pan with olive oil or in an oven/air fryer.
Spread basil pesto generously on the toasted bread, pile a generous amount of arugula on top, then halve the burrata cheese and place it on the arugula.
Arrange the roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic on top, spooning over the olive oil from roasting. Drizzle generously with balsamic glaze.
Optionally, sprinkle with Grana Padano cheese and enjoy as an open-faced sandwich, or cover with another slice of bread to make a regular sandwich.
💡 Tips
Tomato confit can be easily made in any standard oven-safe dish, not necessarily a specialized air fryer or oven container.
Choose your preferred method for toasting the bread.
For best flavor, add a generous amount of arugula and balsamic glaze.
📦 Storage & Reuse
While this bagel sandwich is best enjoyed immediately, if you need to store it, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate.
When refrigerating, wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to minimize air exposure and prevent ingredients from drying out.
It is recommended to store for up to one day; storing longer may cause vegetables to wilt and bread to harden.
To reheat, microwave for a short 10-20 seconds or gently warm in an oven, though it's often tastier served cold due to the fresh vegetables.
Leftover jambon or cheese can be used in salads or other sandwich recipes.
