Trader Joe’s Ciabatta Sandwich Instructions

Slice the ciabatta roll in half. Lightly spray with olive oil and toast in the air fryer, or toast in a pan with olive oil or butter until golden and crisp.

In a small bowl, mix equal parts pesto and mayonnaise to create a creamy spread.

Spread the pesto mayo on the bottom half of the toasted ciabatta.

Layer your choice of gourmet deli meats on top.

Generously spread stracciatella over the deli meats.

Add a handful of fresh arugula.

Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and acidity.

Place the top half of the ciabatta over everything, press gently, and enjoy!

Toasting Tips

• Air Fryer: Brush or spray olive oil on the ciabatta bread. Air Fry at 375 for 3-4 minutes.
• Pan: Place ciabatta cut side down on the pan. Add butter or olive oil. Toast until golden or toast for a couple of minutes.
• Do not over toast, ciabatta bread dries out easily.
