Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

2 mins

Lay ciabatta halves, cut sides up, on the parchment paper. If the top half rocks a bit, just slice a bit off the top so that it lays flat. (2 minutes)

03

Step

5 mins

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and garlic salt. Butter the cut sides of the ciabatta halves generously. Spread the sloppy Joe mixture evenly over the buttered bread, ensuring it reaches the edges. Sprinkle first with the cheddar cheese, then with the mozzarella cheese. (5 minutes)

04

Step

2 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden brown, about 15 minutes. (15 minutes)

05

Step

15 mins

Remove from oven and let cool slightly. To serve as an appetizer, slice each half into 2-3 pieces. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. (3 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before baking.
If you don't have ciabatta, a French baguette or even a thick-sliced Italian bread will work well.
Feel free to customize the cheese blend to your liking. Pepper jack or provolone would also be delicious additions.
