Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by slicing your ciabatta bread lengthwise to create two halves. Brush the insides generously with olive oil.
On one half of the toasted ciabatta, spread a layer of creamy garlic aioli, and on the other half, drizzle balsamic glaze or pesto.
Place slices of grilled chicken or turkey atop the aioli-covered half and layer fresh mozzarella or brie cheese on top.
Layer roasted red bell peppers over the cheese and then add arugula or baby spinach, and sprinkle caramelized onions if using.
Place the top half of the ciabatta onto the filled bottom half, press down gently, and slice the sandwich in half.
