Instructions

Recipe Tips

For extra crunch, toast the ciabatta until deeply golden.

If you don’t have guacamole, mash a ripe avocado with a pinch of salt and lime juice.

Adjust the amount of chili flakes to your preferred spice level.

FAQ

Can I use regular bread instead of ciabatta?

Yes, any sturdy bread like sourdough or whole wheat works well, but ciabatta adds a nice chewy texture.

What can I substitute for red pepper jam?

You can use sweet chili sauce or a fruit jam like apricot for a similar sweet-spicy flavor.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

As written, it contains gluten from ciabatta. Use gluten-free bread to make it gluten-free.
