Ciabatta Cheesesteak: The Full Breakdown
Panera's Ciabatta Cheesesteak is a modern, elevated take on the classic East Coast staple. We use premium, marinated sliced steak that is exceptionally tender, topped with melted provolone cheese for that authentic gooey texture. The real star, however, is the combination of caramelized onions and zesty sweet peppadew peppers, which provide a complex balance of sweetness and mild heat.
Our garlic aioli adds a luxurious creaminess that elevates the beef, all contained within a crusty, toasted ciabatta roll that holds up perfectly under the weight of the hearty ingredients.
Price Notice: We independently track Panera Bread prices. Costs may vary by location. Check your local cafe for current pricing.
