Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 Ciabatta loaf
  • ½ Jar green or red pesto (I used basil)
  • 1 Garlic clove (peeled)
  • 1 Mozzarella ball (drained and cut into strips)
  • 2 Black olive slices

Instruction

  • Start by slicing the ciabatta loaf in half (sideways).
  • Place under a grill and toast on both side until just golden.
  • Rub the inside of the ciabatta halves with the clove of garlic (gives a lovely flavour).
  • Spread a layer of pesto over the bottom half of the ciabatta (the mummy side).
  • Place the strips of Mozzarella in a zig zag pattern (quite tightly to fit all the mozzarella) on top of the pesto, don't worry if you need to break bits to fit.
  • Add the olive slices at one end for the eyes.
  • Put the ciabatta base back under the grill until the cheese has just gone molten (that way the stripes show really well or you can leave it a bit longer like I did for a more rotted corpse look – nice:-)
  • Place ciabatta lid back under grill for a 20 seconds each side just to heat up.
  • Arrange ciabatta “coffin” lid to be partially covering the “mummy” base and place in centre of your Halloween table.
  • To serve place lid on and cut into sandwiches big or small depending on how much other food you are serving (we had just this for lunch which served 4).
  • Happy Halloween:-)
