Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice your focaccia in half lengthwise, ensuring to create two even pieces.
Generously spread a layer of pesto sauce across the bottom slice of the focaccia.
Gently tear the room-temperature burrata into smaller pieces and layer it over the pesto.
Next, layer the prosciutto over the burrata in a single, even layer.
Now, arrange the salami evenly on top of the prosciutto.
Lightly scatter a generous handful of fresh arugula over the salami and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Carefully place the top half of the focaccia onto your layered ingredients.
Using the serrated knife, slice the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately.
