This appetizer is next-level thanks to the bold flavor of roasted tomato focaccia. We used Trader Joe’s Roasted Tomato & Parmesan Focaccia as the base, and it’s the perfect shortcut for a crispy, cheesy appetizer that’s packed with flavor.
You’ll love how simple this is to throw together. It’s got all the comforting, gooey goodness of a classic grilled cheese but with a major upgrade from the flavorful focaccia and three types of cheese. Great as a game day appetizer or an easy lunch.
Helpful Tips
- Use softened butter: It spreads more evenly on the bread and gives a perfect golden crust when toasted.
- Toast the bread first: This keeps the focaccia nice and crispy even after baking.
- Mix up the cheese: Feel free to swap in whatever shredded cheese you have on hand, just make sure it melts well.
