Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices ciabatta bread
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 6 whole cherry tomatoes or 1 roma tomato
  • 1 ounce mozzarella balls about 4-6 small balls
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil sliced
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Toast bread: Toast ciabatta bread in a toaster until golden brown. Alternatively, you can also place it in the oven to toast at about 350 degrees F for about 2-3 minutes each side. When toast is done, remove it to a plate and set aside.
  • Prep ingredients: Slice the garlic cloves and mix with the olive oil in a small bowl, then set aside. Then slice tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Slice mozzarella balls in half. Slice basil leaves.
  • Build toast: To make toast, drizzle the olive oil with minced garlic on top of the toasted bread. Then place sliced tomatoes and mozzarella on top of the toast. Sprinkle the sliced basil on top, add a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a dash of red pepper flakes, if desired. Then enjoy!

Notes

  • Prep ahead: To prep this recipe ahead, complete step 2 of the instructions to cut the garlic, tomatoes, and basil and then mix them with the olive oil and save until ready to make the toast.
  • Leftovers and storage: Store leftover caprese ingredients in an airtight container for up to 3days in the refrigerator, do not freeze. Cut fresh slices of bread when ready to build the toast.
  • Nutrition notes: Nutrition information is for each slice of toast. This recipe is vegetarian. To make this recipe gluten free, use gluten free bread instead of ciabatta bread.
