Genoese focaccia, a slice at the bar
Genoese focaccia, a slice at the bar.
Genoese focaccia is the quintessential Ligurian dish.
This photo was taken in the bar in front of my house where a nice cabaret of focaccia slices are ready to be “grabbed” and “dunked” in cappuccino.
The quintessential Ligurian breakfast and the best way to start a Saturday morning.

Focaccia, as I have already written in several posts, is the one with oil; very simple (even if you can find it in thousands of local variations: with olives, rosemary, tomatoes and so on and so forth) the one I like! And here I leave you my recipe.
It can be eaten for breakfast, as a “fast breaker” in the morning or as an aperitif-appetizer. It is traditionally accompanied with a small glass of white wine (or gianchetto in Ligurian). It is customary (not typically Genoese) to dip the focaccia in cappuccino or milk for breakfast.

Questa è la mia colazione preferita quando sono a casa: prima di tutto la focaccia all’olio (essendo difficile averla fresca va benissimo anche quella del giorno prima riscaldata nella macchinetta per toast, nel microonde rimane troppo molla); una bella tazza di caffè e latte (molto latte e poco caffè); sigaretta appena finito il caffe.
Un signore!
A little piece of focaccia? Great for breakfast
A little piece of focaccia? Great for breakfast.
As I have already said and written, there is no Genoese breakfast that does not include a little piece of focaccia all'olio.
I already have a nice photo (here) of the focaccia but when I saw this cabaret of focaccia at the bar I couldn't help but take a photo!

Cheese Focaccia, not in Recco
Cheese focaccia, not in Recco.
Obviously the best and most famous cheese focaccia is the one eaten in Recco (and surrounding areas) but in many parts of Liguria you can find excellent ones.
This one, for example, is the very good one from Due Gabbiani in Casarza Ligure.

It is a DOP and there is even a consortium that defends its name: focacciadirecco.it. The one in the photo, very good for me (even if I don't think it is DOP) is the one from the pizzeria iduegabbiani.it in Sestri Levante.
Focaccia with cheese (sometimes but improperly focaccia al formaggio), in Genoese a fugassa cö formaggio, is a type of stuffed focaccia typical of Liguria and Oltregiogo. Focaccia with cheese 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 würstel, speck and fontina, etc.). The ingredients include flour, extra virgin olive oil, and obviously the chosen cheese, which is placed on top of the dough before putting it in the oven.

Non sarà la focaccia al formaggio originale di Recco ma devo dire che anche questa, cucinata nel forno a legna della pizzeria della Costa NeoRomantica, non è per niente male. Provare per credere!

La focaccia al formaggio pizzata
La focaccia al formaggio pizzata.
Una delle varianti più classiche della focaccia al formaggio di Recco è la focaccia pizzata.
La preparazione è pressoché simile con l’aggiunta di passata di pomodoro.
Ovviamente buonissima!

It is said that thanks to the availability of oil, cheese and flour, by cooking the cheese-filled pasta on a covered slate stone, the gastronomic product that we know today as “Focaccia di Recco col Formaggio” was “invented”.
