70 minutes
Focaccia with roasted garlic, green onions, and provolone cheese is a magnificent blend of flavors inspired by traditional Mediterranean cuisine. This aromatic dish gained popularity due to its tender dough infused with garlic paste and fresh rosemary, giving it an exquisite herbal aroma. The provolone cheese melting on the crispy crust adds a rich creamy flavor, while the green onions refresh and highlight the harmony of all ingredients. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a friendly gathering, especially when paired with a glass of white wine or spiced olive oil. Grilled focaccia takes on a pleasant smoky note that makes it even more tempting. This recipe is a true delight for lovers of Italian and Greek gastronomy.
