Focaccia Charcuterie

Our new favorite way to charcuterie! Make your meat and cheese board entirely edible by baking Colavita marinated vegetables into a delicious focaccia with this easy recipe for an Edible Focaccia Charcuterie Board.

 Pizza dough, store bought or homemade
 1 Jar Colavita Pitted Olives
 1 Jar Colavita Sun-Dried Tomatoes
 Mixed herbs (we used rosemary and parsley)
 3 Scallions, chopped
 Sea salt
 Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 Round of cheese like brie, camembert, or goat
 Mixed meats like salami and pepperoni
Equipment:
 12x18 baking sheet
 1 or 2 ramekins
 Aluminum foil

1

Heat your oven to 425°F.

2

Generously oil the 12 x 18” baking sheet with Colavita olive oil.

3

Place balls of aluminum foil or ramekins on top of the oiled sheet. These are the places where you will place meats and cheeses, as they will leave indentations in the pizza dough. Make sure to oil the tops of the foil and ramekins.

4

Evenly distribute the Colavita olives, sundried tomatoes, herbs, and onions in any pattern you would like around the foil and ramekins.

5

Gently and evenly, stretch the dough over everything, lightly pressing it down into the baking sheet and over the ingredients, foil, and ramekins.

6

Place it all in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, turning it halfway through the baking process.

7

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

8

Place a large cutting board on top of the cooked dough and using oven mitts, flip everything over so that the focaccia is now face up, with all the beautiful ingredients, on the cutting board.
Remove the ramekins and foil from the focaccia and fill those indentations with cheese, honey, or sliced meats.
