Caprese Garlic Bread

Caprese Garlic Bread is the perfect combination of two favorite dishes, Caprese Salad and Garlic Bread. It makes for the perfect summer treat when the tomatoes are ripe on the vine.

If you are looking for delicious tomato recipes try our favorite Tomato Tart, Sweet Tomato Relish, and my favorite Tomato Basil Tart.

Bread Mozzarella Tomato Basil

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, 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 given my current tomato situation, I decided 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.

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

How to Make Caprese Garlic Bread

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut loaf of French bread in half and place on parchment lined baking sheet cut side up
  • Stir together the butter, Parmesan, garlic, garlic powder, parsley and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl.
  • Spread the mixture on top of the bread.

  • Arrange slices of mozzarella on top of the bread and then top with tomato slices.
  • Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the mozzarella has melted.
  • Bake the bread for about 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with some fresh basil and a drizzle of a yummy balsamic glaze.  Oh my!  This stuff is delicious!!

How to Make Balsamic Glaze

  • In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Stir in the honey.
  • Simmer for 3-4 minutes or until the vinegar has reduced by about half and has the consistency of a thin syrup.
  • Remove from the heat and place in a small bowl. It will thicken as it sits.
  • Drizzle over 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!!

What to Serve Caprese Garlic Bread With

  • Herb Pasta
  • Brown Butter Pasta
  • Lemon Basil Pasta
  • Pesto Chicken Pasta
  • Baked Ziti
