Caprese Garlic Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf ciabatta bread, sliced in half
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella
- 2 large tomatoes, sliced
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 2 tbsp. finely sliced basil
- 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Place bread halves on a large baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, mash together garlic and butter then season with salt and pepper. Spread butter mixture onto both bread halves. Bake until the bread is toasted, about 15-20 minutes.
- Top the toasted bread with mozzarella and tomato slices and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5-10 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, make balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Simmer until reduced by half, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes (the mixture should coat the back of a spoon). Let cool.
- Drizzle garlic bread with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Garnish with basil, then cut into slices and serve warm.
