Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 focaccia breads
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (optional)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)
• 4 tablespoons grated cheese
• Coarse ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
• 4 tablespoons chopped Cubanelle peppers
• 4 tablespoons chopped zucchini
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
• Oregano
• Large baking sheet

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay the focaccia bread on a clean work surface. Brush the baking sheet with oil.

2. Brush the surface of each focaccia bread with either extra virgin olive oil or the melted butter. Sprinkle each bread with grated cheese and a good amount of freshly ground black pepper.

3. Divide the scallions and sprinkle some over each crust. Put 2 tablespoons each chopped Cubanelle peppers on each crust. Repeat with the zucchini.

4. Distribute equal amounts of the shredded mozzarella and shredded cheddar over the crusts. Season each with oregano.

5. Place both crusts on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven to work surface. Cut each focaccia bread into four equal serving wedges and place on a serving platter.

Tips & Warnings

• Plain or unseasoned focaccia bread crusts work best in this recipe.
• Rather than putting raw vegetables on the crusts, try sauteeing the scallions, peppers and zucchini first.
