Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Slice the ciabatta bread lengthwise and brush the insides lightly with olive oil. Toast in a skillet or toaster oven on medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. Spread garlic aioli on one half and drizzle balsamic glaze or pesto on the other half.
  3. Layer sliced grilled chicken or turkey over the aioli side, followed by fresh mozzarella or brie cheese. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese begins to bubble.
  4. Add roasted red bell peppers and arugula or baby spinach. If using, sprinkle caramelized onions over.
  5. Place the top half of ciabatta on the assembled ingredients, pressing gently. Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
