Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes
Servings 8 pieces

Ingredients

  • 1 Loaf Ciabatta Bread sliced in half length-wise
  • ½ Cup Unsalted Butter at room temperature
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic grated
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
  • ½ Teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • ¼ Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese plus more for topping
  • ½ Cup Caesar Salad Dressing
  • 2 Hearts Romaine Lettuce shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to mix the butter, salt, garlic, pepper, oregano, and grated parmesan together.
  3. Place each half of the ciabatta bread cut side up on the foil lined baking sheet. Spread equal amounts of butter mixture on each half of the ciabatta bread. Top each half with equal amounts of shredded mozzarella. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, just until cheese melts and becomes slightly golden around the edges.
  4. If you are serving the bread right away, toss the dressing and romaine together in a bowl and then top each half with salad. Cut, sprinkle some more grated parmesan on top, and then serve.
  5. If you are not eating the bread right away, top with romaine and then wait until serving to drizzle dressing on top of the romaine. Sprinkle grated parmesan on top of each half, cut, and then serve when ready.
