Ingredients

Scale

Focaccia Sandwich

  • 1 loaf Focaccia (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons Pesto Sauce (thin layer)
  • 8 ounces Burrata Cheese (room temperature)
  • 4 ounces Prosciutto (thinly sliced)
  • 4 ounces Salami (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cups Arugula (lightly drizzled with olive oil, salt, and pepper)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (extra virgin)

Side

  • 1 bag Hal’s NY Backyard BBQ Chips

Instructions

  1. Slice the Focaccia: Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the focaccia loaf in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom piece for your sandwich.
  2. Spread Pesto Sauce: Evenly spread a thin layer of pesto sauce over the bottom half of the focaccia to add aromatic herb flavor as the base.
  3. Add Burrata Cheese: Generously layer pieces of room-temperature burrata cheese over the pesto, providing a rich and creamy texture.
  4. Layer Meats: Arrange thinly sliced prosciutto evenly over the burrata, followed by a layer of thinly sliced salami, adding savory, salty depth.
  5. Add Arugula: Scatter the lightly seasoned arugula leaves over the meats for a fresh, peppery crunch, complementing the richness.
  6. Assemble Sandwich: Place the top half of the focaccia over the layered ingredients and gently press down to hold the sandwich together.
  7. Serve: Slice the sandwich into serving portions if desired, and serve immediately with a side of Hal’s NY Backyard BBQ Chips for added texture and smoky flavor.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature burrata for easier spreading and optimal creaminess.
  • Lightly drizzle arugula with olive oil and season with salt and pepper for balanced flavor.
  • Serve the sandwich fresh to enjoy the crisp bread and creamy cheese at their best.
  • This sandwich pairs excellently with a crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon.
  • You can substitute arugula with fresh spinach or mixed greens as preferred.
