  • Author: Jen

Description

This Caprese Garlic Toast makes a delicious side to several dishes! 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf of fresh baked bread, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, on a vine
  • 4 oz fresh small mozzarella balls
  • fresh basil chopped (approx. 8 leaves)
  • 8 cloves of garlic
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • olive oil, to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Gather whole garlic cloves and place them in the center of a small piece of foil
  2. Crumple up the foil and make a ball with the garlic inside
  3. Roast in oven at 350 for fifteen minutes

To prep your fresh ingredients:

  1. Cut cherry tomatoes in half, chop fresh basil, and cut mozzarella balls in half (set aside) 
  2. When garlic is done roasting, use a fork to lightly mash the garlic so it’s easier to spread over the bread
  3. Toast your bread and add a generous amount of butter
  4. Spread your garlic, adding 1-2 cloves per slice
  5. Line up toast on baking sheet, add fresh mozzarella and sliced cherry tomatoes and season with kosher salt
  6. Broil for a couple minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly (watch closely do it doesn’t burn)
  7. Add a sprinkling of fresh basil and drizzle on olive oil and balsamic vinegar
