Warm Prosciutto-Stuffed Focaccia

"On Saturday he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice cream cone, one pickle, one slice of swiss cheese, one slice of salami..."


After a hiatus the caterpillar is back and cheating a little bit. We agonized over the salami and ended up using prosciutto instead. Not the same at all but we couldn't figure out a healthy use for salami so this will have to do. We liked this sandwich but we make a similar panini that we like better. I did like the roasted red bell peppers which the other panini doesn't have but there were some flavors missing. All in all a good sandwich and 3.5 out of 5 stars.
