Looks great! I too am a BA fan. I’ve just recently tried to switch it up a little and I’m now in the middle of a 12 month subscription to Gourmet (we are on a bit of a budget these days and I can only justify one publication at a time). Anyway, as much as I still love this mag, BA just seems so much more approachable!

What an amazing sounding and looking breakfast. If only I could get nice figs here.

I know these had to have been delicious! And extra kudos to you for making your own fig jam – impressive! :-)

I live for breakfast sandwiches, and this one looks like a winner.

I’m also a huge fan of Bon Appetite. It seems like Gourmet is more popular, but personally, I find they have too many ads and less interesting articles. And in general, I usually like more recipes from BA than Gourmet. You’ve also got to love them for their recent spotlight on food blogs!

Figs and cheese are my new favorite flavor combo these days. So I can definitely get behind this sandwich!

One additional note that a reader pointed out via email. Obviously you should slice up the figs before you add them in the pot to reduce. I showed this in the photo, but then said “Put everything in a pot.” Slicing them first will help out your cause.

@Shannalee Tough question. I would say a fig takes like a berry almost with almost a kiwi texture. But it is a pretty subtle, sweet flavor. A ripe fig is delicious.

@Pam Thanks! They were quite tasty indeed.

Great step-by-step guide with a recipe that would have be totally intimidated. Question: For someone who’s never tasted figs, what would you liken them to? (PS: I love Bon Appetit best!)
