This is a quick and easy sandwich meal that I cut out of Southern Living a long time ago and just got around to trying. And it was great! We loved this one. For summertime, when you want something a little lighter than normal fare, this is the ticket.
Warm Prosciutto-Stuffed Focaccia
1 (9 ounce) round loaf focaccia bread
3 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto*
4 oz. thinly sliced Muenster cheese
1 (6 oz.) pkg. fresh baby spinach
1/4 cup bottled roasted red peppers, drained
2 TBL light balsamic vinaigrette
Cut bread in half with serrated knife. Top bottom bread half with prosciutto & next 3 ingredients. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette, cover with top bread half. Wrap in aluminum foil; place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350* for 15 minutes or until warm. Cut into wedges.
I used some flat sheets of focaccia bread that I found at Walmart’s bakery, so use what you can find.
*Prosciutto is kind of expensive, so if you want, substitute deli ham for this, although it won’t have exactly the same flavor. Prosciutto is Italian and has a really distinct flavor and really makes this great, but you could easily do ham too. It doesn’t take much prosciutto to do this and Publix carries it in the deli.
Hope you’ll try it, we really did enjoy it and I’ll definitely do it again!

Tonight, to celebrate my hubby’s birthday, I’m taking him to see a new play in town, Bear Country, in honor of his beloved Bear Bryant. I love to come up with ideas that will be just right for him and this one definitely is. I’m so proud of him too, since he turned 50 this birthday, he’s going on a major diet and has determined to lose 40 (maybe more) pounds. I’ve been hoping for this to happen and will do everything I can to help. He’s got a closet full of some gorgeous clothes that hopefully he’ll be back in before too long. Go hon!
Thanks for stopping by! I'm Rhoda, from Atlanta, GA and I love decorating and DIY projects. Decorating a home doesn't have to cost a fortune and I've spent years thrifting at antiques markets and yardsales, finding those treasures that make a home unique. I'm here to inspire and encourage other women to find their own inner creativity. Won't you join me?

the sandwich looks delicious – I must try it! And have a good time with your hubby……boy, I wish my husband would take a page from your husband’s book. I love him and want to keep him around a good long while, but I can’t nag him about his weight. The motivation has to come from within himself, and that is what I’m patiently awaiting.
Oh does that look delicious! Just he ticket for the hot days we are having here in NC. Happy Birthday to your husband and Good Luck to him. Great Birthday gift…Is it a surprise??
Ok, that is so fun about taking your hubby to see that. I have the hardest time thinking of things now for our birthdays…and the focaccia looks AMAZING. I have never made something like that.
Yum!
Oh my goodness — how delicious does that look? Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring us, as usual!
Yumm-O! I make hoagies using the same ingredients. But I use Pesto(instead of vinegrette) and Turkey(instead of Prosciutto). LOVE! I saw that you went to the Longest Yard Sell. How fun was that! Have a great day! Nancy from OHIO
I’m adding this to my “must try soon” file Rhoda! It looks delicious. It’s funny, I am not a fan of ham but I love proscuitto.
This looks amazing!
I adore your blog, and I just subscribed!
One of our faves is something like that too. I also love it with sauteed pancetta! Delish!
This sandwich looks SO good. can’t wait to try it.
Have a fantastic time tonight! And tell your husband I said Happy Birthday!
Good luck to him, too, on his healthier living goals. I know he can do it! And we’ll all be pulling for him.
Hey, Rhoda! This looks yummy! Hope y’all have fun celebrating your Hubby’s b’day tonight!!
I loved the video of y’all yard saling! My favorite part had to be when you were killing the spider!! Too funny!
Keep cool today!!
Hugs!

Rhoda-This looks wonderful and like a good option for dinner in this heat! Happy birthday to your husband and good luck on the weight loss. My husband lost 60 doing WW and exercising. Now, I’ve created a monster–wants to show me his abs all the time
That looks sooooo good Rhoda! It’s times like these that I hate that I am gluten free. Although, if I want it bad enough, I’ll adapt it to a bread that I can eat. I think this may be one of those! {My mouth was actually watering looking at the picture}. A bonus is that I think hubby would like it too!
Mmmm, looks delicious! This is a must try for me. Happy B’day to your hubby!
Wow….that sandwich looks so good! Thanks for sharing that recipe!
Oh that sandwich looks delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
This sandwich looks tasty. Do you think prosciutto tastes anything like country ham?
Rhoda…my mouth is watering! I must try this, looks delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Good luck to your husband on his goal. Weight is such a hard thing to lose…easy to gain! lol. I battle it off and on…forever a trial. Have fun celebrating his b-day.
Hugs to you,
~Victoria~
Rhoda, yes the video coverage that Layla took was hilarious… looked like so much fun – that sandwhich got my mouth watering… num! num! Happy Birthday to your man and you two have a good time out!
YUM! This is something I know we would enjoy. Thanks for sharing it. I hope you will join me for Crock Pot Wednesdays this week at diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com.
Rhoda, that looks delicious. I’m on a diet so I can’t look at it right now. LOL!
Just wanted you to know I’m going on an extended blogging break. I didn’t want you to think I had deserted you. Also, my email address has changed and is now at gmail. If for some reason you need me, I can be reached on my blog email.
XO,

This sounds yummy, for lunch, dinner, parties, anytime! I think that I will make this for a garden party next week!
My hubby would LOVE to have one of these on his day off.
Thanks for sharing it!!! I’m having a my first blog party, Decorating Dilemmas, on Wednesday…I’d love it if you could come party with us. 
It will be online tonight after 10 (ET).
You know I will be trying that one too! Yum~
That looks so good! It is my birthday,also. I am finding three people who share it with me. Y’all have fun out tonight.
This looks so good! Great pics from the Longest Yardsale! One of these days I’m gonna go to one of those.
Thanks for taking us along!

Hello Rhoda, your recipe looks easy and delicious. I will definitely try it. I actually love to cook and bake. I don’t do much baking anymore. We just don’t need the calories. Happy Birthday to your hubby. I hope he does lose weight as it is better for his health. Have you thought of the South Beach diet book. The food is awesome and the recipes are in the book. I still make the recipes just because they are so delicious.
Have fun celebrating.
Hugs…Jeanne
Hi Rhoda
The sandwich looks oh so yummy!
Tell Peter Happy Birthday from George and I. We’re looking forward to seeing you next month.
Hugs!

Oh your sandwich looks yummy. Now my stomach is a’growling.
I made these last night. I couldn’t find Prosciutto, so I substituted deli ham. It was still very good and my family was happy! Thanks for the idea!
