1. Pesto Sun-Dried Tomato Zucchini Focaccia by Vicky Cohen

Vegetables shine in this delicious and visually appealing focaccia. Two-tone delicate ribbons of zucchini are layered over pesto, sprinkled with punchy sun-dried tomatoes, and topped off with cheddar and Parmesan, then toasted to crispy perfection. A delicious, savory treat.

2. Smoked Gouda Mushroom Panini by Erin Grunstein

Make lunchtime your favorite time of day! This isn’t your parents’ grilled cheese! Start with a good quality cheese and, of course, fresh Tuscanini panini bread, and add savory sauteed mushrooms to the sandwich for good measure.

3. Arugula Fig Focaccia by Erin Grunstein

The bright and peppery pesto is the star of this appetizer. It’s spread over fresh focaccia and then topped with succulent sliced figs and rich goat cheese. The hot honey adds a depth to this dish- definitely recommend giving it a try, if you haven’t yet.

4. Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese Flatbread by Micah Siva

This amped-up cream cheese and lox is perfect for a special Sunday brunch (or will make any day special when you serve it). The whipped, seasoned cream cheese is spread over Tuscanini’s soft and flavorful fresh focaccia bread and topped with piquant smoked salmon and punchy capers and red onions and classic tomatoes, cucumbers, and dill. It’s a party in every bite.

5. Olive Dip Focaccia by Sina Mizrahi

When we, thankfully, have a marathon of Yom Tov meals, I like to switch up which bread I serve. Here I came up with a combo: a bread and dip in one! Tuscanini’s focaccia is absolutely delicious on its own but when topped with a briny olivey spread, it takes it up a notch. The extra kick from the Calabrian chili peppers is optional but very much recommended. This is a quick and easy way to elevate bread and infuse it with flavor. Mark my words: it’ll be the first thing gone.

6. Shawarma Pizza by Yocheved Shvarzblat

Elevate your dinner routine with this Shawarma Pizza, a delicious fusion of Mediterranean flavors and classic comfort. This fun and unique twist is sure to impress, making it perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. Combining the beloved tastes of shawarma with the convenience of a ready-made pizza crust, it’s a crowd-pleaser for all ages.

7. Loaded Beef Focaccia by Sarah Daskal

Serve a restaurant-quality dish at your next special meal. This savory masterpiece starts off with a golden, toasted focaccia, followed by a rich layer of chummus, then topped with sweet and savory eggplant, and tender shredded meat. Each bite delivers a satisfying combination of flavor, crunch, and creaminess.
