Ingredients

  • 1 loaf focaccia bread
  • 2 oz chive & onion cream cheese spread
  • 1 1/4 cups spring mix
  • 1/4 lb thinly sliced ham
  • 1/4 lb thinly sliced turkey breast
  • 1/4 lb thinly sliced salami
  • 3 slices pepper jack cheese cut in half
  • 3 slices pimento Colby cheese cut in half
  • 3 slices provolone cheese cut in half

  • 3-4 slices tomato thinly sliced

  • 1/3- 1/2 cup zesty Italian dressing

Instructions

  • Slice bread in half horizontally. Spread cream cheese on the bottom half. Place bread loaf on baking sheet and warm in 350 degrees oven for about 3-4 minutes to soften bread.
  • Place bottom half on a cutting board or serving platter. Arrange spring mix over the cream cheese.
  • Arrange meats over the spring mix.
  • Arrange cheese slices over the meat.
  • Top with bacon slices, red and green peppers, and tomatoes. Season with salt & pepper as desired.
  • Drizzle desired amount of dressing over the sandwich. Add top half of bread. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. (If not serving immediately, do not add dressing. Wrap sandwich in cling wrap and refrigerate.)

HELPFUL TIPS:
This can be made a day ahead of time.  Focaccia bread holds its firmness very well. If possible, assemble the sandwich and then wait to drizzle with the oil just prior to serving. Wrap tightly with Cling Wrap or place in an airtight container. Refrigerate for 1 day.
  • This sandwich serves a lot of people.
  • It is impressive to serve at a bridal or baby shower, tea party, or any kind of gathering. I took it to a picnic and everyone really enjoyed it.
