How to make it:

  3. Mix the Old Amsterdam cheese spread with ricotta and season with the zest of 1/2 lemon, salt, and freshly ground pepper.
  4. Spread the mixture over the focaccia and then top with the lettuce, olives, ham, and balsamic onions.
  5. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and top the focaccia with extra shaved Old Amsterdam cheese!

Cooking tip!

In winter, this dish is also delicious with blanched kale or cavalo nero instead of lettuce!
