Focaccia with cheese
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. For a budget version, you can replace Parmesan with regular hard cheese — it will be just as good. But olive oil and olives cannot be substituted :) By the way, you can sprinkle the balls with sesame seeds before baking. That's all the secrets. Serve cooled down or slightly warm.
