Ingredients

• 1 small ciabatta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or 1 tablespoon butter)
• 5 slices of soft goat cheese in a roll
• 2 slices of thinly sliced lean ham (e.g. Parma, serrano)
• 2 cherry tomatoes (or 1/2 of a larger tomato)
• several basil leaves
• freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

1. Cut the ciabatta lengthwise, toast in a toaster or place on a metal grill under a medium-heated grill in the oven and grill. Drizzle both halves with olive oil or spread with butter.
2. On the still warm bread, on the bottom half, arrange slices of goat cheese, cover with sliced ham and tomatoes. Arrange basil, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Cover with the other half of the ciabatta.
3. You can also spread the ingredients on two halves of bread and eat them as sandwiches, or fold the sandwich from ungrilled bread and bake the whole thing in a toaster.
