Quick Ciabatta Pizzas

Quick Ciabatta Pizzas are so quick & delicious. Toasted ciabatta is rubbed down with garlic, topped with pesto, sliced tomato and mozzarella for a really flavour packed lunch!

I keep a ball of mozzarella in the fridge most of the time as it is so versatile and can be made into a wide variety of meals. 

These Quick Ciabatta Pizzas were inspired by bruschetta and just kind of evolved.  They always goes down well with the family and are great with a salad or a bowl of soup for lunch or a light supper.

How do you make Quick Ciabatta Pizzas?

After toasting the ciabattas (pictured are paninis which are not waxy enough) rub them with a clove of garlic.

Slather a generous amount of pesto onto each slice.

Then the mozzarella and tomato slices are laid on alternately before putting under the grill.

 Grill until the mozzarella melts.

• Jar of red or green pesto
• Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
• 1 Ball of mozzarella sliced into 12 slices
• 3 or 4 Vine ripened tomatoes sliced
• Garlic clove
• Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

• Grill the outsides of the ciabattas on both sides until lightly toasted.
• Rub a clove of garlic on the inner surface of the ciabattas.
• Spread enough pesto onto each ciabatta to cover the surface.

Notes

To make these pizzas lower in fat just use low fat mozzarella which works really well.
