Preheat oven to 350.
Place the galric, herbs, salt, and pepper in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until finely minced. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the glarlic and herb mixture, and cook until the garlic is softened but not browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cut the ciabatta in half horizontally, and spread 1-2 Tablespoon of butter over each half. Spoon the garlic mixture over each half as well, and press the halves together to make a sandwich.
Wrap in aluminum foil and place on a sheet pan. Bake 5 minutes. Unwrap from the foil, and bake an additional 5 minutes. Slice loaf into pieces and serve warm.
