What's your favorite ciabatta roll sandwich?
I plan on having one later and I'm fishing for ideas.

Being that ciabatta is of Italian heritage, I like to go with salami,cappy ham,provolone cheese,roasted red peppers and a light olive oil based dressing.

same as above with the addition of a grilled eggplant slice.

My favorite ever has been this pork w/ spicy mango cucumber slaw. I wish I had one right now.

I second the idea of sticking with the Italian theme. If it were me, I'd probably also add some arugula or spinach leaves, artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes. If you wanted to go with something different than a vinaigrette dressing (although that sounds delicious), try toasting the ciabatta and spreading it with hummus. Or you could put it all together and press it in panini press. Yum. Wish I had one!

One of my favorite sandwiches is on rosemary ciabatta with grilled eggplant, boccicini, tomato, and pesto mayonnaise.

Thank you everyone!
Lunch time is approaching, and I have five delicious sounding (and looking, bitchincamero: the pork w/ spicy mango cucumber slaw looks fantastic) recipes and a four pack of ciabatta rolls. This could be a dangerous combo, because I'm in an eatin' mood!
Plus, I read Karencooks topic "How do you make your egg salad, tuna salad, ham salad...", and that got me thinking about creating a new chicken and egg salad on ciabatta recipe. I think I'm in trouble

I had a fantastic one in Disney World at the Deli resturaunt (name?) in the Animal Kingdom Lodge: It had hummus, baby arugala, deli turkey slices, chopped olives and some kind of flavoured mayo...I ate it for like three-days-straight. so good.

I like italian roast pork, roasted red peppers, broccoli rabe and provolone.
Yummy, wish I had one right now.

I ended up making this one:
Smeared with Hellman's mayo and drizzled with Kraft Tuscan House Italian dressing.
Stacked with deli thin ham, sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced pimento stuffed olives, and provolone.
Sprinkled with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
Buttered and sprinkled with rosemary, then cooked in a sandwich press until golden. I really liked it.
I made another one with a chicken and egg salad, but I did not like the ciabatta roll with that one (did not cook it in the press and it was a bit too much bread for me) I think I'll stick to grilled or pressed from now on.

Pulled pork with vinegar barbecue sauce

@whatseatingme - Your sandwich sounds like it would hit the spot! I particularly love your addition of rosemary with the ham and then grilled. Sounds spectacular...

Mozz, tomato, basil, maybe some fresh spinach, evoo. The mozz must be fresh, and the tomato must look like the tomatoes in the picture on the front of the vine tomato seed packet.

@donnie, that sounds so so delicious.

savecara,
I got out some fresh spinach to make a pizza sort of one and realized I used the last of the mozzerella earlier! I wonder if muenster would work?
hungrychristel,
Was that one plain,toasted or grilled? It sounds good.
donnie and boomer53,
I wish I had some pork here right now.
I'm down to one roll now, and I have to save it to make my wife a sandwich later. If I had more rolls, I think I would make a Monte Christo type one for dessert.
Thanks again everyone!

Any sandwich on a ciabatta is a good sandwich to me, minus raw tomatos, liverwurst or any offal at that.

@whatseatingme...Hmm. Though I am an avid supporter of muenster in general, I would say it would change the mood of the sandwich from "Pizza/Italian" to more of a "Best Grilled Cheese Ever." In this case, you'd want to scrap the basil, keep the tomato, and add your other fav grilled cheese accessory, such as good ham or bacon.

One of my favorite sandwiches of all time is a sandwich from Beyond Bread in Tucson, AZ. According to the menu, it's roasted turkey, anaheim chiles, cilantro, celery, red onion, chipotle chiles, mayonnaise and sour cream, served with tomato in a wheat pita. They used to serve it on ciabatta, and I still ask for it this way. DELICIOUS.

Hot sopressata, ham, provolone, roasted red peppers, fresh basil, thinly sliced red onion, capers, olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, S&P.
I also like ciabatta rolls with nice hot kielbasa, cheddar cheese and mustard.
Great, now I'm hungry.

Grilled portobello mushroom, a thick slice of fresh mozzarella, wilted spinach and balsamic vinaigrette.
DROOL.
