Garlic Breads:
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 large cloves garlic)
- 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves , stems removed, finely sliced or shredded
- salt to season (optional)
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese slice thinly into rounds, (or shredded mozzarella cheese)
- 1 loaf Cabiatta sliced into 8 slices
- 1/2 cup Garlic Butter
Balsamic Glaze:
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
Preheat your oven to broil or grill setting on medium heat.
Heat oil in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the tomatoes and basil; cook until the tomatoes are slightly blistered and soft. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds).
Spread the garlic butter over each slice of bread and top with 1 slice of cheese (or just enough to cover the bread).
Broil (grill) until the cheese has melted.
Top bread with tomatoes, season with salt (if needed) and drizzle over the glaze.
Balsamic Glaze:
Pour vinegar into a small, nonstick saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring occasionally until the glaze coats your spoon and thickens to a syrupy consistency, (it will also be reduced by half). Remote from the stove and allow to cool. Makes 1/2 cup glaze.
