Caprese Garlic Bread is the perfect combination of two favorite dishes. It makes for the perfect summer treat.

Caprese Garlic Bread

The other day my husband came in from the garden and instructed me that I needed to start making more recipes with tomatoes.  Our garden has been exploding with tomatoes and we are running out of friends to share them with.

Caprese Garlic Bread

Fortunately for me, and my husband, my friend Jamielyn’s new cookbook, The I Heart Naptime Cookbook arrived in the mail.  I couldn’t wait to try a lot of the recipes but decided given my current tomato situation that the Caprese Garlic Bread was at the top of my list. The cookbook is full of amazing recipes that all take under an hour to prepare.

I Heart Naptime Cookbook

Caprese Salad is a favorite summer salad and I am never one to pass up a slice of garlic bread so this Caprese Garlic Bread was pretty much a match made in heaven.

Caprese Garlic Bread

The bread is spread with layer of garlic parmesan butter and then topped with slices of fresh mozzarella and fresh tomatoes.

Caprese Garlic Bread

Bake the bread for about 15 minutes and then sprinkle with some fresh basil and a drizzle of a yummy balsamic glaze.  Oh my!  This stuff is delicious!!

Caprese Garlic Bread

I can’t wait to work my way through more of Jamielyn’s recipes but in the meantime, I’m going to keep making these Caprese Garlic Bread with all those tomatoes in my garden!!
