Ingredients
- 4 slices ciabatta bread or similar (approx. 2.5 cups when cubed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups cooked mince (e.g. leftover Bolognese)
- ¼ cup semi sundried tomatoes, finely chopped
- ¼ cup pitted olives, sliced
- ½ cup feta cheese, cubed
- salt & pepper
- handful of fresh basil, or 1 teaspoon dried basil
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Cube ciabatta bread into 2cm cubes. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well to ensure the bread is well coated. Spread the bread in a single layer on the baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes. Be sure to check after 5 minutes and toss the croutons to ensure they are cooking evenly. Remove from the oven when the bread is just beginning to turn golden.
- Mix the cooked mince with the sundried tomatoes, olives, half of the feta cheese and basil. Season to taste.
- Divide mince evenly between four large ramekins and fill approximately ¾ to the top.
- Sprinkle croutons on top of the mince in the ramekins, and sprinkle with the rest of the feta.
- Place ramekins in oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until heated through. Serve hot with a salad or green vegetables
