Savor the taste of summer with this vibrant Caprese Grilled Bread. Crusty baguette slices are transformed into an elegant appetizer or side dish, featuring juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil, all kissed by the smoky char of the grill.

Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill for low heat and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Drizzle olive oil over baguette halves. Add minced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Layer tomato on top; season tomato with salt, pepper, dried parsley, and dried basil. Top tomato with mozzarella cheese. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Place baguette halves on foil and grill until cheese starts to melt, 5 to 8 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil and parsley. Cut into slices and serve.

For a richer flavor, use balsamic glaze.
Use a pizza stone on the grill to avoid burning the bottom of the bread.
If you don't have a grill, you can broil the bread in the oven.
