Ingredients

4 tablespoons The Olive Press Basil Parmesan Oil, divided

12 cherry tomatoes, halved

24 thin slices zucchini

12 slices bacon, cooked soft-crisp, halved

8 slices smoked cheddar cheese

2 ciabatta rolls, halved

Dried or fresh basil, for garnish

Preparation

STEP 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss tomatoes and zucchini with 3 tablespoons oil; arrange evenly on a baking sheet. Roast until slightly browned and juicy, about 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside. Raise oven to broiler setting.

STEP 2
Arrange the sandwiches: Place 4 halves of Ciabatta rolls on baking sheet. Top each with 2 slices cheese, 6 slices zucchini, 4 pieces bacon, and 6 tomato halves. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil over sandwiches.

STEP 3
Place under broiler and cook until cheese is just melted, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
