Ciabatta with Parsley, Garlic and Parmesan

Crunchy, garlicky, cheesy bread, oozing with extra virgin olive oil.
Probably no good for you what so ever - but it is nice!



When buying Parmesan only ever buy 'Parmigiano Reggiano' if it doesn't have that on it then it's not the same stuff and it wont taste half as good as the real thing. The term Parmesan can be used for cheeses imitating true Parmesan cheese.

here to read more.

How to do it:
Preheat your oven to 200C/400F or Gas 6

Get yourself a nice good quality ciabatta bread and cut in half length ways.
Drizzle on both bread sides (not the crust side) with a good amount of extra virgin olive oil.
Then use any amount you fancy of the following:
finely chopped garlic
fresh flat leaf parsley
grated Parmesan
Sprinkle over the garlic and parsley. Grate over the Parmesan and put on a baking tray uncovered in your preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes.
Serve immediately.

The extra-virgin olive oil makes it seem less guilty but when you're eating garlicky, crusty goodness who the heck cares. :)

Marie said...

Oh yum, tasty looking ciabatta Jan!

Jan said...

Thank you everyone - it was yummy!

GarlicBOSS - It was the first time I've made this - but why do you ask?

Jan, your recipe isn't willy-nilly. I noticed your selection of choice ingredients. You didn't just say, spread margarine on a slice of Wonder bread, sprinkle it with garlic powder and top it off with Kraft grated parmesan cheese :)
