Ingredients
- 1 loaf ciabatta bread
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 1 tomato, halved crosswise
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice ciabatta in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 1-inch slices. In batches as needed, grill the ciabatta slices, cut side down until they are golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Working quickly, drizzle the toasted sides with extra-virgin olive oil. Rub the garlic cloves over the grilled bread, then rub the cut side of the tomatoes over the grilled bread. It's important to do this while the bread is still hot or warm, otherwise the garlic won't melt into the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm.

Nice change from the ordinary. Good garlic taste with a nice softness added from the tomato. Will make again..

We finally broke away from the normal bread at dinner and tried this recipe. It was fast, easy easy, and really really wonderful! I have four kids, and they all kept remarking about how great this was, and there wasn't one crumb left over. Thanks Giada for another great recipe!

I made these for a baby shower I had in February, and everyone loved them. I love the crisp, buttery taste of the croissant with the warm cheese and salami. Plus they were so easy to make! I love Giada's recipes!
