Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 loaf of Ciabatta bread
  • 1 lb. fresh mozzarella (sliced thin)
  • 1 c. fresh basil (chopped (and/or other herbs))
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb. bacon (cooked and crumbled)

Instruction

  • Turn the broiler on high.
  • Slice the Ciabatta bread in half, lengthwise.
  • Brush olive oil on top of each ciabatta bread slice. Add the minced garlic and the chopped herbs.
  • Place the ciabatta bread under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes until a light brown color appears on top. Be super careful not to let it burn while watching it. It takes literally seconds for it to burn.
  • Remove from the oven and turn your oven to 275 degrees.
  • Add the slices of mozzarella across each slice evenly. Top with the crumbled bacon. (or any other topping you desire)
  • Note: If you want tomato sauce or roasted tomatoes or something else under the cheese, add this first.
  • Place it all back in the oven for about 5-10 minutes until the mozzarella cheese has melted completely. Remove and allow to cool slightly. SO good!
