This sounds like it would be a tasty starter or a side dish with an Italian meal. I originally found the recipe in BBC Good Food Magazine.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 bunch fresh basil
1 small ciabatta, cut in half lengthways
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Directions:
1. Heat the grill / broiler to high.
2. Beat together the mayonnaise, butter and garlic cloves until smooth.
3. Chop basil, stir through and season with salt and pepper.
4. Put the halves of the ciabatta, sliced lengthways, on a baking tray and spread with the butter.
5. Sprinkle with grated parmesan, then grill for 2-3 minutes.
6. Remove from baking tray and slice each half into smaller slices.
