It is a sandwich made with focaccia bread filled with tomato, lettuce and kasar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese. The bread is typically olive-oil-rich and airy, so the sandwich has a softer, more savory base than one made with ordinary sliced bread.
Slice the focaccia horizontally and layer in kasar cheese, tomato and dry lettuce. For a warm version, heat the bread with the cheese first, then add the lettuce so it stays crisp; for a cold sandwich, assemble just before eating.
You can toast it, but add the lettuce after heating to keep it crisp. Toasting the bread with the kasar lets the cheese soften and gives the focaccia a lightly crisp outside without wilting the fresh vegetables.
Dry the lettuce thoroughly and remove excess juice from the tomato before assembling. Putting the cheese against the bread can also create a partial barrier, while packing the tomato separately is best if the sandwich must sit for several hours.
Yes, but it keeps its texture better when the ingredients are packed separately and assembled shortly before eating. If you make it ahead, wrap it and refrigerate it; the tomato will gradually soften the focaccia and the lettuce may lose its crunch.
Freezing the assembled sandwich is not recommended because lettuce and tomato become watery and limp as they thaw. Freeze the focaccia separately if needed, then add fresh vegetables and kasar after thawing.
Serve it with soup, a green salad, olives or roasted vegetables. These sides complement the savory cheese and bread; soup or salad also makes it easy to turn the sandwich into a more substantial lunch.
Kasar is a Turkish semi-hard cheese with a mild, savory flavor, and it works well sliced in this sandwich. Fresh kasar melts readily when heated, while aged kasar has a firmer texture and a more pronounced taste.
Focaccia is an Italian flatbread, traditionally made with olive oil and often dimpled on top before baking. This sandwich pairs that bread with Turkish kasar and fresh vegetables, combining Italian-style bread with a Turkish cheese.
Use a thinner piece of focaccia, a modest layer of kasar and no heavy spread. You can add more lettuce and tomato for freshness, while keeping in mind that focaccia itself is often made with olive oil.

This focaccia bread tomato lettuce kasar cheese sandwich pairs soft, olive-oil-rich Italian focaccia with fresh tomato, lettuce and kaşar, a mild Turkish semi-hard cheese that slices easily and melts well. It brings together an Italian-style bread with a familiar Turkish cheese.
It works well as a portable lunch or a casual light meal, whether you’re eating it on the go or serving it with soup or a simple salad. The bread makes it carbohydrate-rich, while the cheese adds moderate protein and calcium; the vegetables contribute a little fibre. For a lighter version, use less added oil and add extra lettuce and tomato.
