Caprese Garlic Bread
Caprese Garlic Bread pairs toasty, garlicky baguette with ribbons of melted mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and fresh basil, finished with a tangy kiss of balsamic glaze. The contrast of crunchy edges and soft, cheesy center highlights bright, herbaceous notes and gentle acidity. Ideal for an Italian-style appetizer, game day spread, or a summery side to pasta and salads.
