Mortadella Burrata Sandwich
Herbed focaccia layered with pesto, mortadella, burrata, and arugula. I don't think a sandwich could be more Italian.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf focaccia about 8x6 inches
- 3 tbsp olive oil + 2 more for drizzling
- 6 tbsp basil pesto
- 4-6 oz sliced mortadella
- 2-3 oz burrata cheese
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions
- In a large cast iron pan over medium high heat, add olive oil. Cut the focaccia loaf in half lengthwise and place each side cut side down into the pan for 2-3 minutes to toast
- Remove the loaf sides from the pan and spread pesto on the toasted insides of each half.
- Layer the bottom half with all of the mortadella, then top with the burrata balls (I used 4 small ones). Split the burrata open and spread the gooey, milky insides over the entire sandwich
- Top with a generous amount of arugula. Drizzle the top of the arugula with olive oil, and crack some black pepper over that.
- Place the top of the loaf on the sandwich and press down. Cute into 4 squares/rectangles and serve immediately.
