Things You'll Need:
- 6-inch or 8-inch foccacia bread
- 3/4 cups prepared bean mixture
- Rubber spatula
- 3 tbsp. carmelized onions
- 3 tbsp. carmelized red peppers
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp. red pepper, cut into chunks
- Sharp knife
- Serrated knife
- Serving tray
- Dried marjoram (to taste)
- Fresh basil, chopped (to taste)
- Olive oil
-
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. Spread the hot bean mixture evenly over the focaccia bread with a rubber spatula.
-
Step 2
Sprinkle carmelized onions and peppers over the top and finish with some freshly grated parmesan cheese.
-
Step 3
Bake the focaccia bread in the pre-heated oven for 12 minutes. Remove the bread and set it aside to cool.
-
Step 4
Stack several fresh basil leaves on a cutting board and roll them into a tube shape. Chop the leaves finely. Reserve a few large, unchopped leaves for garnish.
-
Step 5
Place the cooled focaccia bread on the cutting board and use the serrated knife to cut it into quarters. If you're using larger, 8-inch focaccia, slice the quarters in half.
-
Step 6
Place the focaccia wedges on the serving tray and tuck a few whole basil leaves around the edges for garnish. Top the wedges with chopped basil, chunks of red pepper, and a sprinkling of dried marjoram. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top and serve.
