About this dish

Instead of a thin spread, cold butter is cut into slices about 0.8 cm thick that stay firm against the soft red bean paste.

Only the cut faces of the ciabatta are toasted briefly, which crisps the surface without drying out the rest of the bread. Spreading the paste right to the edges puts sweet bean and rich butter in the same bite.
