  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Focaccia Bread: 1 loaf (approximately 12 inches)
  • Bresaola: 4 ounces, thinly sliced
  • Fresh Mozzarella: 4 ounces, sliced
  • Pesto: 2 tablespoons
  • Roasted Red Peppers: 1/2 cup, sliced
  • Arugula: 1 cup, lightly packed
  • Balsamic Glaze: 1 tablespoon
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice the focaccia loaf horizontally to create a top and bottom half. Lightly brush the inside of both halves with olive oil.
  2. Step 2: Spread pesto evenly over the bottom half of the focaccia bread.
  3. Step 3: Layer the turkey prosciutto over the pesto, followed by the sliced fresh mozzarella and roasted red peppers.
  4. Step 4: Add the arugula on top of the roasted red peppers.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the arugula.
  6. Step 6: Place the top half of the focaccia bread over the fillings. Gently press down to secure the sandwich. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Wrap leftover sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, preventing the bread from drying out.
  • To revive a refrigerated sandwich, warm it in a panini press or skillet for a few minutes until the mozzarella is slightly melted and the bread is crisp.
  • Serve your focaccia sandwich with a side of marinated olives or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
  • Don't overcrowd the sandwich; less is more to allow each flavor to shine and prevent it from becoming too messy to eat.
