My Go-To Italian Sandwich That Feels Fancy but Takes Minutes
This Italian focaccia sandwich is salty, creamy, fresh, and ridiculously easy to make
Course Dinner
Cuisine Italian
- 1 fresh focaccia sliced
- 4-6 slices proscuitto
- 1 tomato sliced thin
- handful arugala
- 3 tbsp stracciatella
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.

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.
