Cheese‑covered ciabatta buns topped with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, olives and Serrano ham. Compared to other meats, Serrano ham is rightly considered low in calories.

Ingredients

  • 400 g small tomatoes (10 small tomatoes)
  • 125 g mozzarella
  • 50 g green olives (pitted)
  • 250 g ciabatta buns (for baking, 6 buns)
  • Pepper
  • 0.5 bunch arugula
  • 50 g Serrano ham (thin slices)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash the tomatoes, cut off the stem ends and slice them into about 5 mm thick rounds.

  2. 2.

    Drain the mozzarella and slice it thinly.

  3. 3.

    Drain the olives and finely chop them.

  4. 4.

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the buns horizontally in half and arrange them on the sheet.

  5. 5.

    Sprinkle the olives over the buns, top with tomato slices and season with pepper. Distribute the mozzarella on top and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C fan, gas level 3) for about 15 minutes until golden.

  6. 6.

    Meanwhile wash and dry the arugula. Slice the Serrano ham into fine strips. Arrange both the arugula and ham decoratively over the baked buns and serve immediately.
