Step 2
To make the focaccia rolls, use a rolling pin to roll each slice of focaccia to about 3mm (1⁄8in) thick. Spread each slice with a little of the goat's cheese, followed by some tapenade and half a slice of ham. Roll up tightly and secure with cocktail sticks. Place on a baking sheet and cook at 220°C (200°C fan oven) mark 7 for 10-15min or until golden. Pile on to a serving plate and serve with the almond pesto for dipping.
Step 3
Prepare ahead. Complete the recipe but don't cook. Cover and chill the rolls and pesto separately for up to two days. To use: Cook, garnish and serve.
