Melty mozzarella and fresh tomatoes give basic garlic bread a MAJOR upgrade.
Ingredients
  • 1 loaf ciabatta bread, sliced in half
  • ½ c. unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • kosher salt
  • 1½ c. shredded mozzarella
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced
  • ¼ c. balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 2 tbsp. finely sliced basil
  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place bread halves on a large baking sheet.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash together garlic and butter then season with salt and pepper. Spread butter mixture onto both baguette halves. Bake until the bread is toasted, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Top the toasted bread with mozzarella and tomato slices and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5-10 minutes more.
  4. 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.
  5. Drizzle garlic bread with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Garnish with basil, then cut into slices and serve warm.
