Elis Grilled Bread Recipes

GRILLED BREAD (PANE ALLA GRILLIA)

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice ciabatta in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 1-inch slices. In batches as needed, grill the ciabatta slices, cut side down until they are golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Working quickly, drizzle the toasted sides with extra-virgin olive oil. Rub the garlic cloves over the grilled bread, then rub the cut side of the tomatoes over the grilled bread. It's important to do this while the bread is still hot or warm, otherwise the garlic won't melt into the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm.

CHEESY GRILLED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine butter, tomatoes, pesto, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until thoroughly combined and tomatoes are chopped. Scrape into a bowl and stir in 1 cup shredded provolone cheese.
• Grill bread on the preheated grill until toasted, about 1 1/2 minutes. Spread butter mixture equally onto cut sides of both halves of bread and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Grill bread, cut-side up, over indirect heat with grill covered, until toping melts, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly; cut into slices using a serrated knife. Serve warm.
