My Go-To Italian Sandwich That Feels Fancy but Takes Minutes

This Italian focaccia sandwich is salty, creamy, fresh, and ridiculously easy to make

Ingredients
  

  • 1 fresh focaccia sliced
  • 4-6 slices proscuitto
  • 1 tomato sliced thin
  • handful arugala
  • 3 tbsp stracciatella

Instructions
 

  • Start by searing your prosciutto in a pan over medium heat. You typically don’t need any oil—the prosciutto will release its own fat and crisp up beautifully in just a few minutes.
  • Once the prosciutto is crispy and warm, set it aside. Add your focaccia to the same pan and sear until it’s golden and slightly crispy on the outside.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by layering a heaping spoonful of creamy stracciatella, the crispy prosciutto, fresh sliced tomatoes, and a handful of peppery arugula on your seared focaccia.
  • Enjoy immediately while the focaccia is warm and the flavors are at their freshest.

Notes

  • Stracciatella balances the saltiness of the prosciutto and the freshness of the tomato, making every bite perfectly harmonious.
  • Optional: drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil  for added flavor.
  • Great for lunch, brunch, or a quick dinner that feels fancy with almost no effort.
