Focaccia Sandwich

Well folks, I believe summer is here in Kansas. We have been here and there with swimming lessons, softball games, pulling weeds in the garden and just good ole' summer entertainment so I haven't spent to much time in the kitchen (or cleaning my house. Yuck!)

This time of year I definitely like quick & easy so I'm going to share with you one of my family's favorite sandwich.

The Focaccia Sandwich

 For starters I got me two loaves of Focaccia bread from our local deli. I usually make my own with the assistance of my bread machine but I really didn't want to take the time with everything else going on so I cheated. ;)

It comes in a round 10 inch loaf so I cut it into 4ths like in the above photo. 

 Then I cut my piece in half so it looks like this. (I realize you probably don't need an explanation on how to do this but with some people ya never know. hehe)

Now for the tasty inards of the samich.

I got some Hard Salami, pepperoni and provolone cheese. Oh and I even like some sliced black olives on there too.

The first layer is a slice of the cheese.

Then a layer (or two) of pepperoni.

  

Next is a layer of Hard Salami. You can even use Genoa Salami. They're about the same.

After that comes another slice of cheese.

Then top it off with the olives and the top of the bread.

I then zap it in the microwave for about 20 seconds or so just to slightly melt the cheese and get the greases from the meat flowin'.

This thing has got to be FULL of calories and fat, but ya know, I just don't care. It's that good! We only have this sandwich maybe three times a year so its worth it.  

I really went overboard when I followed up with this dessert from  grammasinthekitchen.blogspot.com

My babies loved it!

So did me and the hubby! (but I won't show you pics of us eating, that would just ruin the whole thing. haha)
