Grilled Cheese Roasted Tomato Focaccia Bread
There are few things as comforting as a grilled cheese sandwich, but when you swap out the bread for pillowy, olive-oil-rich focaccia and tuck in some sweet roasted tomatoes, the whole thing reaches another level.
It’s crispy on the outside, gooey in the middle, and layered with flavors that taste both rustic and a little indulgent. The focaccia gives you that chewy, airy bite, while roasted tomatoes add depth and brightness that balance the richness of the melted cheese.
Helpful Tips
- I buy this roasted tomato foccacia at Trader Joe’s, but if you don’t have one near you, or they stop selling it, you can use any loaf of foccacia, or try making your own.
- Use any type of cheese you like to fill the bread. I like to use a couple of different cheeses, and make sure they are good melting cheeses.
