A fresh and flavorful Caprese focaccia sandwich combining soft focaccia bread with juicy tomato slices, creamy mozzarella, and peppery rocket leaves, seasoned simply with salt and black pepper for a perfect Italian-inspired lunch or snack.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 sandwich (serves 1-2)

Ingredients

Sandwich

  • 200 g focaccia bread
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 125 g fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 40 g rocket leaves (arugula)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the focaccia bread: Cut the focaccia bread horizontally to create a top and bottom slice suitable for a sandwich.
  2. Slice the tomato and mozzarella: Wash the tomato and cut it into thin slices. Similarly, slice the fresh mozzarella evenly to match the size of the focaccia slices.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: On the bottom piece of focaccia, layer the slices of tomato, then add the mozzarella slices on top followed by a generous handful of rocket leaves.
  4. Season: Lightly sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the ingredients to enhance the flavors.
  5. Close and serve: Place the top slice of focaccia over the fillings and press gently. Cut the sandwich into portions if desired, and serve immediately for the best fresh taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and high-quality mozzarella for the best flavor.
  • Optionally drizzle some olive oil or balsamic glaze for added richness.
  • This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh and not stored for long periods to preserve the texture of the focaccia and freshness of the ingredients.
