Cheese focaccia in Sestri Levante.
In Liguria you can eat cheese focaccia in practically all pizzerias. Obviously the best is the one in Recco, the original DOP, but there are some very good ones that do not boast any particular denomination.
One of these, very simple, was from the pizzeria in Sestri Levante Il Don Luigi (which unfortunately closed - changed management).
This is the second time I've posted a photo of this dish but what can I do if we often go and eat it on Sunday evenings when I'm at home!

Where was Don Luigi located in Sestri Levante:
Focaccia col formaggio exists in numerous versions, with surface fillings that include either just cheese (of various types, sometimes mixed together) or other ingredients (cheese and cooked ham, cheese and sausage, speck and fontina, etc.). The ingredients include flour, extra virgin olive oil and brewer's yeast (basic ingredients for the dough the same as those of the equally typical Genoese focaccia), in addition of course to the chosen cheese that is placed on top of the dough before putting it in the oven. Regarding the latter, there are variations with fontina or other similar soft cheeses, with less dense cheeses such as stracchino, mozzarella or gorgonzola and, as mentioned, mixtures of different cheeses.
