Caprese Garlic Bread
Think of Caprese Garlic Bread as garlic bread on steroids! Delicious, garlicky, crunchy garlic bread loaded with herb-parmesan butter, marinated tomatoes, creamy burrata and crisp prosciutto. Topped with fresh basil leaves, it’s beautiful to look and absolutely delectable to eat!
It doesn’t take a lot to make this fabulous accompaniment to any meal! It’s a wonderful starter as well.
To make the crispy prosciutto, arrange torn prosciutto pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cook in a hot oven for about 10 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crisp.
The tomatoes get marinated in a vinaigrette of olive oil, champagne vinegar, honey, salt, pepper and chili flakes.
Softened butter is combined with grated parmesan cheese, thyme parsley and a pinch of ground pepper.
Grill the halved ciabatta bread, that’s been brushed with olive oil, until grill marks appear. Rub each half with a garlic clove and then spread the butter over both halves. Return the bread to the grill and cook, cut side up, until warmed.
To assemble, break the burrata cheese over the warm grilled bread, spoon the tomatoes over and top with fresh basil leaves and crumbled prosciutto.
Slice it and serve it!
