Tips & Variations

Caprese Style: Add slices of fresh mozzarella and finish with balsamic glaze.

Extra Flavor: Include caramelized onions or sun-dried tomatoes for richness.

Healthier Twist: Use whole-grain bread and reduce cheese slightly.

No-Oven Option: Toast in a covered skillet on low heat until the cheese melts and the base crisps.

Result:
Golden crispy bread, rich garlicky base, juicy tomatoes, stretchy melted cheese, and fragrant basil — a Mediterranean-inspired masterpiece you’ll crave again and again!
