  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Butter the outside faces of the ciabatta slabs.

  2. 2

    Fill each with grated cheddar, sliced tomato, sliced onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Notes & Tips

Ciabatta burns fast

Ciabatta crisps faster than sandwich bread — keep it higher off the coals and watch it closely, or it chars before the cheese melts.
