Ingredients
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
Instructions
- 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.
