As someone who is 1/4 Italian, I just can’t resist tomatoes, garlic, and cheese!
My refrigerator is always full of tomatoes, I always have a healthy supply of garlic and various cheeses on hand in my pantry, and I am never without olive oil!
I’m always trying new ways of combining these ingredients, and today I came up with this affordable and fresh tasting ciabatta sandwich.
It is a really easy and quick recipe that is perfect for long work days with short lunch breaks.
