I made this caprese garlic bread because just about everybody loves crusty garlic bread. And when you add tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic, it kicks up the flavor to sensational. French, Italian and ciabatta are all good bread choices.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread , 12 ounce
- olive oil spray
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 5 cloves garlic
- 12 ounces mozzarella cheese
- 4 small tomatoes
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 0.33 cups chopped fresh basil
- balsamic glaze
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut bread in half lengthwise, lightly spray with olive oil, and place on the baking sheet, cut side up.
-
2
In a small bowl, combine butter and garlic; spread evenly on the bread halves, and top with mozzarella slices.
-
3
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, and bread edges are starting to brown, 8 to 11 minutes.
-
4
Remove from the oven, place tomato slices on top of the cheese, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with basil. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, cut into slices, and serve.
