Steps:

• Position racks in the upper third and center of the oven and preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the Parmesan in a mini food processor and grind into a snow-like powder. You should have at least 1 1/4 cups. Set aside.
• Set up a breading station with 3 pie plates or shallow bowls. Combine the flour, kosher salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the garlic powder in the first pie plate; stir with a fork.
• Beat the eggs with 2 tablespoons water in the second pie plate.
• Combine the panko with 1/2 cup of the ground Parmesan in the third pie plate and stir with a fork.
• Press your palm down on a chicken breast and slice the chicken in half with a sharp knife parallel to the cutting board. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts to make a total of 6 thin pieces. Cut each piece in half crosswise to make a total of 12 mini cutlets.
• Working in an assembly line, dredge each cutlet in the seasoned flour and turn to coat both sides; tap off any excess. Dip the chicken cutlet into the beaten eggs and coat both sides, letting any excess drip off. Then dredge in the Parmesan breadcrumbs and turn to coat both sides. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Heat 1/2 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shiny. Working in batches if necessary, add the cutlets in a single layer and cook until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and discard the parchment from the baking sheet and replace it with a wire rack. Transfer the fried cutlets to the prepared baking sheet.
• Make the compound butter: Combine the garlic with the butter, 1/4 cup of the ground Parmesan, and the remaining 1 tablespoon garlic powder in a small bowl. Stir together with a spoon until well combined.
• Place the ciabatta rolls on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread the compound butter on the split sides. Broil on the center rack until golden brown and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the buns to a work surface.
• Remove the wire rack from the baking sheet and wipe the baking sheet clean. Place the cutlets on the baking sheet and top each with about 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce and the mozzarella rounds. Broil on the upper rack until the tops are bubbly and the mozzarella is melted and golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Divide among 4 ramekins.
• To plate, carefully transfer the cutlets with a spatula to the bottom buns, sprinkle each with 2 teaspoons of the ground Parmesan and the basil. Close the sliders and serve with the warmed tomato sauce. Enjoy!

CIABATTA GARLIC BREAD WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• 1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Mince garlic and add salt. With a large chef's knife, combine the garlic and salt to make a paste. Use the flat end of the knife to smooth the mixture. Add a pinch more salt if the mixture is not getting moist or smooth enough. This takes a bit of time, but worth the effort. Add black pepper and combine.
• 2. Heat olive oil in medium size saucepan on medium/low heat. Add the garlic paste, let simmer 30 seconds then turn off the heat or if using an electric stove, remove from heat. Leave in pan to cool slightly.
• 3. Slice ciabatta in half horizontally. Spread butter on one half of the loaf and garlic oil mixture on the other half. Sprinkle either side with cheese. Put loaf halves back together and wrap bread in aluminum foil.
• 4. Place wrapped loaf on baking sheet, place on middle rack in oven and bake 15 minutes. Open foil to expose the top of the bread. Sprinkle a little more cheese on exposed bread if desired. Bake an additional 10 minutes. Slice into 1 to 1-1/2 inch portions.
• 5. I like to serve this with my "La La Lasagna". But it's great with soups, salads, and just about anything you'd like to jazz up.

YUMMY ESSENTIALS: GARLIC BREAD CIABATTA PIZZA

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• The idea for making this a garlic-bread pizza all began when I was disappointed with the sogginess of the bread when it came out of the oven. My solution was to toast the bread, and I thought that if the bread is going to be toasted, why not make it garlic bread? So, now you know the rest of the story.
• I make my own ciabatta bread (when I can), and also my own pizza sauce. Obviously, if you want to make this quick and simple, just go to your happy grocer, and pick up what you need.
• I do not have a ciabatta bread recipe posted; however, if you are in the market for a good pizza sauce, here you go: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/quick-essentials-down-dirty-pizza-sauce.html?r=3
• If you want to have some fun, try mixing the mozzarella cheese with some provolone, fontana, or other cheeses; how about a bit of goat cheese?
• You can make garlic bread with garlic salt, garlic powder, or fresh minced garlic. I experimented with all three, and I love the flavor that fresh garlic brings to this recipe.
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Add the garlic, and celery salt, to the melted butter, then stir to combine.
• Use a bread knife to cut the ciabatta in half lengthwise.
• Brush with the butter/garlic/celery salt mixture.
• Place the bread under your oven broiler, and get it nice and toasty.
• Remove the bread, and set the temperature of the oven to 400f (205c).
• Brush the sauce on the cut (toasted) sides of the bread.
• Grab a pinch or two, then sprinkle on the dried basil and oregano, until you like what you see.
• Add desired toppings (meats, veggies, etc.), top with the mozzarella, and then sprinkle with the parmesan.
• Place in the oven, and bake until the cheese is bubbly, and starting to brown, about 12 - 14 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly, and maybe add a bit of sauce to the top.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Cut into planks, and serve, while nice and warm. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
