Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 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 Bread: Carefully slice the focaccia loaf in half lengthwise using a sharp serrated knife to create two even slices for the sandwich base and top.
  2. Spread Pesto: Evenly spread a thin layer of pesto sauce over the bottom half of the sliced focaccia to infuse the base with vibrant herbaceous flavor.
  3. Add Burrata: Generously layer room-temperature burrata cheese over the pesto-covered focaccia, allowing its creamy texture to enrich the sandwich.
  4. Layer Meats: Place thinly sliced prosciutto evenly over the burrata, followed by a layer of thinly sliced salami to build savory, cured meat flavors.
  5. Add Arugula: Scatter fresh arugula leaves that have been lightly drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper, on top of the meats for a peppery, fresh crunch.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the top half of the focaccia over the layered ingredients and gently press down to secure the sandwich components.
  7. Serve: Slice the sandwich into serving-sized portions if desired, and serve immediately alongside the bag of Hal’s NY Backyard BBQ Chips for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature burrata for softer texture and easier spreading.
  • Adjust the amount of arugula and oil to your taste preferences.
  • If you prefer, lightly toast the focaccia before assembling for added crunch.
  • This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the texture and flavor balance.
  • Substitute salami with another cured meat if desired.
