Introduction
This Vegan Cheesy Focaccia in a Pan is proof that comfort food doesn’t need an oven—or dairy—to be incredibly satisfying. Soft, golden, and filled with a rich, savory center, this recipe transforms simple pantry ingredients into a warm, indulgent flatbread that feels both rustic and modern. With a tender dough, creamy potato filling, and melty vegan cheese, every bite delivers cozy, homemade goodness.
What makes this focaccia especially appealing is its simplicity. There’s no long proofing time and no baking involved—just a quick rest, a simple filling, and a pan on the stovetop. The mashed potato adds moisture and structure to the filling, creating a naturally creamy texture that pairs beautifully with vegan cheese. Together, they mimic the richness of traditional stuffed breads while keeping the recipe completely plant-based.
Perfect for busy days, small kitchens, or moments when you crave something warm and comforting fast, this pan-cooked focaccia is endlessly versatile. It works as a snack, a light meal, or a shareable side dish, making it an ideal go-to recipe for vegans and non-vegans alike.
