It’s tomato season and anything caprese is my absolute fav! I typically don’t eat a lot of bread, but when I do it is definitely going to be this Caprese Garlic Bread! Oh my gosh it is so good and so easy to make.

Serve it along side your favorite soup or salad and you will have yourself a delicious light summer meal.
