Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic (minced, 2 large cloves garlic)
- 1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves (stems removed, finely sliced or shredded)
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese (slice thinly into rounds, or shredded mozzarella cheese)
- 1 loaf Ciabatta (sliced into 8 slices)
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 pinch salt (to taste)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to broil or grill setting on medium heat.
- 2
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).
- 3
Spread the garlic butter over each slice of bread and top with 1 slice of cheese (or just enough to cover the bread).
- 4
Broil (grill) until the cheese has melted.
- 5
Top bread with tomatoes, season with salt (if needed) and drizzle over the glaze.
- 6
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.
