-
Start by slicing the ciabatta loaf in half (sideways).
-
Place under a grill and toast on both side until just golden.
-
Rub the inside of the ciabatta halves with the clove of garlic (gives a lovely flavour).
-
Spread a layer of pesto over the bottom half of the ciabatta (the mummy side).
-
Place the strips of Mozzarella in a zig zag pattern (quite tightly to fit all the mozzarella) on top of the pesto, don't worry if you need to break bits to fit.
-
Add the olive slices at one end for the eyes.
-
Put the ciabatta base back under the grill until the cheese has just gone molten (that way the stripes show really well or you can leave it a bit longer like I did for a more rotted corpse look – nice:-)
-
Place ciabatta lid back under grill for a 20 seconds each side just to heat up.
-
Arrange ciabatta “coffin” lid to be partially covering the “mummy” base and place in centre of your Halloween table.
-
To serve place lid on and cut into sandwiches big or small depending on how much other food you are serving (we had just this for lunch which served 4).
-
Happy Halloween:-)
