As a child, a cheese toastie was my comfort food and when I think about it, the same could be true today. This is totally delicious and was an idea for a busy day just to feed us as we worked. Next minute I have the Ciabatta dough rising and the Salsa Verde made. You can of course buy Ciabatta rolls, but I really think our recipe is so easy and so delicious that you should at least give it a go once!
You could use lunch meats on this as well, but we really loved the mushrooms as they give that yummy chewy texture and cook really quickly.
Serve with a salad for a quickie nighttime meal, or even with soup as the cold days begin to creep in!
We would totally serve this toastie with any of the following:
