Easy pizza fingers

Super-quick lunch idea for the blog today. 

These pizza fingers went down a treat, were quick to make and super yummy.

I made the base with focaccia, so it was just a matter of loading the topping on and putting it in the oven.

Easy and quick. Just the thing for lunch on a cold day. 

After I made this I remembered that many years ago, I worked in a restaurant that had pizza fingers on the menu. I think that it was the most popular thing on the menu and they were so great. Memories of long ago......


What you'll need

* Serves three or four for lunch with a side salad.

Two loaves of focaccia, approx 30cm x 20cm. You can use plain or buy with flavours such as garlic or herbs.
4 tbls tomato paste or pizza sauce
200g sliced meat, I used salami
Handful of seedless olives
200mg fresh mozzarella (or two cups grated cheese of your choice)

What to do

Place two tablespoons of the tomato sauce onto each piece of focaccia, spreading it right to the edge.

Next put the cheese, then sliced meat, then press the olives into the top.

Place into a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the other toppings are slightly browned.

Once cooked, removed from the oven and let sit for a few minutes to let the cheese cool down a little. Then slice with a sharp knife into 5cm wide fingers.

Serve immediately with a big napkin for your fingers! No knives and forks required here people.
