Ingredients
Scale
2 slices Italian focaccia bread, about 4x4 inches each
1 (4-6 oz) ball fresh burrata cheese
3 thin slices bresaola di Parma
1/4 cup roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
1/2 cup fresh arugula
1–2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1–2 teaspoons balsamic glaze
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Lightly toast the focaccia slices if desired (a toaster oven or pan works well). Once toasted, drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil on the cut side of each focaccia slice.
Step 2: On one slice of focaccia (this will be your sandwich base), layer the fresh arugula, followed by the sliced roasted red peppers, and then the turkey prosciutto.
Step 3: Carefully tear or slice the burrata ball in half or into smaller pieces and place it on top of the layered ingredients. Season the burrata generously with freshly ground black pepper.
Step 4: Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the burrata and the other fillings on the bottom focaccia slice.
Step 5: Place the remaining focaccia slice on top to complete the sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy your Burrata Italian Focaccia Sandwich.
Notes
This sandwich shines brightest when enjoyed immediately; the warm focaccia and cool, creamy burrata are a match made in heaven that shouldn't wait!
For the freshest experience, assemble and enjoy your sandwich right away. If you have leftover ingredients, store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to a day and build a new sandwich just before eating.
Reheating a fully assembled Burrata Focaccia Sandwich isn't recommended as the burrata will melt excessively and the arugula will wilt; it's truly best enjoyed fresh.
To really elevate your sandwich, let the burrata come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before assembly; its creamy interior will be perfectly luscious and spreadable.
