Ingredients
Instructions
- Keep the focaccia refrigerated until ready to use. If it has been refrozen, thaw it completely in the refrigerator before heating.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the focaccia directly on the oven rack and heat until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 3-5 minutes. Cut crosswise into slices.
- Using a butter knife, break the Grand Cru cheese into bite-sized chunks. Arrange the cheese on a serving board or plate.
- Separate the coppa, salami and prosciutto from the antipasto pack. Arrange them in distinct sections on the board alongside the cheese.
- Serve the cheese and charcuterie with the warmed focaccia slices and fig jam on the side.
Recipe Tips
For best flavor, let the cheese come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
If you prefer a warm focaccia with a crispier crust, place it on a baking sheet instead of directly on the oven rack.
