Slice each ciabatta roll in half horizontally. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese evenly over the cut surface of each ciabatta half. Place the cheesy ciabatta halves under a broiler or in a toaster oven set to broil, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is lightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
