Prepare the Thyme: Take a few sprigs of fresh thyme and carefully pluck the leaves from the stems. Set the thyme leaves aside for garnishing.
-
Assemble the Schiacciate: Lay the schiacciate flat on a cutting board. Using a piping bag (or a spoon if you don’t have one), add a dollop of Nduja on top of each piece of schiacciata. Be generous but don’t overdo it, as you want to balance the spicy flavor with the other ingredients.
-
Add the Olives and Thyme: Top each schiacciata with a roasted black olive and a small sprig of fresh thyme. The combination of the spicy Nduja, the saltiness of the olives, and the aromatic thyme creates a burst of flavors in every bite.
-
Bake the Schiacciate: Preheat your oven to a medium heat (about 180°C or 350°F). Place the schiacciate on a baking tray and bake them for about 10–12 minutes or until the edges of the bread turn golden and crispy.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the schiacciate from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve them warm as a delicious and spicy finger food that’s perfect for any appetizer spread. These can be enjoyed as a starter or as part of an Italian-themed snack board.
