Ingredients

• 1 ciabatta;
• 3 tablespoons butter;
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb mixture;
• 2-3 cloves of garlic;
• 2 cups grated cheese or cheese mixture.

preparation

The basis of any toast - bread. We used fresh ciabatta, but the alternative would be a baguette, a regular loaf of rye bread or whatever. The main condition is that the bread was fresh as possible. In this case, after browning in the oven it will retain the softness of the inside and the outside becomes crispy.

Divide a loaf in half. To better bread soaked in oil and without problems was divided into segments, incise it across without cutting through to the end.

The second binding component - a fragrant oil. Can cook one of those that we already recommendedOr make garlic butter, melt about 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat along with the chopped garlic and fresh herbs. Take care to not burnt pieces of garlic, or oil can taste bitter. As soon as a pleasant aroma, remove the oil from the heat.

Distribute oil throughout the meat cut surface.

Concerning cheeseThen give preference to any available and well-consumable options. We chose the traditional Italian mozzarella, parmesan and cheddar.

Distribute cheese portion on the surface of bread and send all baked in a preheated oven at 220 degrees uppermost tier (as close to the heating element). Keep the cooking process to cheese and bread is not burnt, but only gained a nice golden color.

Serve with garlic croutons and cheese immediately after cooking with tomato sauce or just.
