Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Spread the sun-dried tomato spread over one half of the focaccia and pesto on the other half.
  4. Layer slices of deli turkey over the sun-dried tomato spread, followed by prosciutto.
  5. Arrange roasted red peppers atop the turkey and prosciutto, then add fresh mozzarella.
  6. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the ingredients, allowing it to pool between them.

  8. Place the top half of the focaccia over the fillings, pressing down gently, and slice into quarters.
  9. Serve immediately or wrap for later enjoyment.
