Easy Festive Focaccia
So easy and so flavorful. Hints of garlic, rosemary, and Parmesan with delicious bursts of fresh tomato. The bottom crust is reminiscent of a deep-dish pizza. Serve this for a weeknight dinner or for any festive occasion—it would make a great addition to a holiday charcuterie board, as it's the perfect vessel for meats and cheeses.
