Genoa has brought to the table one of the most famous bites of Italian gastronomy: focaccia. A type of bread that is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside that is prepared from flour, oil and water and offers great versatility in the kitchen. This delicacy is usually served as an accompaniment to charcuterie and cheese boards or as an alternative for any improvised dinner.
The truth is that this recipe dethrones pizza on numerous occasions for its flavor and originality. Its popularity has led various supermarkets to offer this ready-made product as a practical and economical solution to vary the weekly menu. As a result of these options, social networks have made an option viral to personalize it and make a dish that is out of the ordinary.
To prepare the formula that is triumphing on the internet, only four ingredients are necessary: focaccia, mortadella, burrata and pesto. The most used base is the one offered by Mercadona’s white label, it comes in a ‘pack’ of two units and is seasoned with cheese, rosemary and thyme.
Preparation
First, cut the focaccia in half. It is then placed in the air fryer or oven to toast it. If you choose the second option, it is preferable to preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Once the dough is crispy, remove it and add a layer of pesto to one of the halves.
Next, several slices of mortadella are arranged until the sauce that has been previously spread is completely covered. When choosing this sausage, you can choose the classic version or a variety that includes more ingredients, such as the one that incorporates pistachios and truffle, which will give a more intense flavor. Next, the burrata is cut and spread over the entire surface.
To finish, it is recommended to drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil. At this point, all that remains is to cover the ingredients with the other half that had been reserved. In this way, you will achieve a quick, economical and highly original dinner.
