Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 (12 ounce) loaf French bread
olive oil spray
4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
5 cloves garlic, pressed
12 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
4 small tomatoes, sliced, or more as needed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
drizzle of balsamic glaze
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut bread in half lengthwise, lightly spray with olive oil, and place on the baking sheet, cut side up.
In a small bowl, combine butter and garlic; spread evenly on the bread halves, and top with mozzarella slices.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, and bread edges are starting to brown, 8 to 11 minutes.
Remove from the oven, place tomato slices on top of the cheese, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with basil. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, cut into slices, and serve.
