															Cut the ciabatta into 1,5cm-thick slices, but do not slice through the base of the bread. Spread a thick layer of the cheese mixture between each slice, then place the loaf in a baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven, 20 – 30 minutes, until the cheese has melted, and the bread is lightly golden and crisped in places.
