Remove from oven; cover to keep warm and set aside.
Make Seasoned Rolls Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over cut sides of ciabatta roll; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon herb and pepper seasoning and 2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese. Place roll on foil-lined and greased sheet pan; bake 4 to 6 minutes or until cheese is melted and roll is golden brown on edges.
