Ingredients

Scale

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 (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Slice the Focaccia: Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the focaccia loaf lengthwise into two halves, about 1 inch thick, creating a top and bottom for the sandwich.
  2. Spread Pesto: Evenly spread a thin layer of pesto sauce over the bottom half of the sliced focaccia to infuse rich, herby flavor.
  3. Add Burrata Cheese: Layer generous pieces of room-temperature burrata cheese over the pesto to ensure creaminess and melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  4. Layer Meats: Place thinly sliced prosciutto over the burrata, then add a layer of thinly sliced salami for a savory, robust taste.
  5. Add Arugula: Scatter the arugula leaves on top, which have been lightly drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, and seasoned with salt and pepper to add freshness and a peppery bite.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the other half of the focaccia on top to close the sandwich and gently press down to compact the layers slightly.
  7. Slice and Serve: Optionally slice the sandwich into serving pieces and serve immediately with a side of Hal’s NY Backyard BBQ chips for a satisfying crunch.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature burrata cheese for best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute salami with other cured meats to your preference.
  • Lightly dressing the arugula with olive oil and seasoning enhances its flavor without overpowering the sandwich.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and softness of the focaccia.
  • A serrated knife is recommended to cleanly slice the focaccia without squishing it.
