Spicy Calabrian Chili & Mozzarella Ciabatta ingredients

  • 1 large Ciabatta loaf
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Calabrian chili paste
  • 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 cup Low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley

How to make Spicy Calabrian Chili & Mozzarella Ciabatta

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter with the 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon Calabrian chili paste, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  3. Carefully slice the large ciabatta loaf in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces. Place both halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Generously spread the spicy garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of both ciabatta halves, ensuring full coverage to the edges.
  5. Sprinkle the buttered bread halves evenly with 1 cup of shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden, and the edges of the bread are crispy and browned.
  7. Remove the ciabatta from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing into individual portions. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
