Key Ingredients
Deli Kitchen Sliced Focaccia: The perfect olive oil-infused base that stays soft and delicious.
Green Pesto: Provides a punch of basil and garlic. Swap for red pesto if you prefer a sun-dried tomato base.
Cured Meats: Salami and prosciutto add a saltiness that balances the creamy cheese.
Mozzarella: Use fresh buffalo mozzarella for a softer texture or sliced firm mozzarella for a cleaner bite.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a side of olives and balsamic vinegar for a true deli experience.
Serve with a light tomato soup for a comforting dip-and-eat meal.
Add a drizzle of hot honey over the meat for a spicy-sweet twist.
Storage & Reheating
This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh to appreciate the soft texture of the focaccia. If you need to prep ahead, store the meats and cheese separately and assemble just before eating. If you prefer a warm sando, a quick 2 minutes in a panini press or in the airfryer will melt the mozzarella beautifully.
A simple way to bring a touch of luxury to your lunchbox
It is the ultimate flavorful discovery for any meat lover looking for a quick, bold bite.
