A Singaporean Mum

There’s something so satisfying about turning a freshly baked focaccia into a simple yet gourmet sandwich. I love how the airy, golden bread—already bursting with flavours from cherry tomatoes, rosemary, and olives—pairs beautifully with the salty richness of prosciutto and the peppery freshness of rocket. It’s one of those recipes that looks fancy, but comes together in minutes. Perfect for lunch, a light dinner, or even to impress guests without breaking a sweat!

Here’s how I do it!

Ingredients

Simple focaccia, dimpled with cherry tomatoes, rosemary, and/or olives

Prosciutto slices

A handful of rocket (or substitute with lettuce)

Method

1. Bake or reheat

• Bake homemade focaccia in the oven at 200ºC for 20 minutes, or warm up store-bought focaccia until lightly crisp.

2. Slice

• Once cooled slightly, cut focaccia in half horizontally.

3. Assemble

• Layer prosciutto slices evenly, then top with fresh rocket or lettuce.

4. Serve

• Close the sandwich, slice into portions, and enjoy immediately.
