Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 1 h
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Italian-American
Ingredients: 2 heads garlic, cloves peeled; 1 cup olive oil; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped; 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese; 1 large loaf sourdough bread; 4 oz prosciutto; 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese; 1 pint cherry tomatoes, diced; 1 tbsp olive oil; flaky sea salt, to taste; freshly ground black pepper, to taste; 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped; 4 oz stracciatella cheese; 1 tbsp balsamic glaze; grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

1

Preheat your oven. Place peeled garlic cloves in a small, oven-safe dish and cover completely with olive oil. Bake until the garlic is soft, tender, and lightly golden.

2

While the garlic roasts, prepare the herb butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped parsley, and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.

3

Slice the sourdough loaf in half lengthwise.

4

Spread the herb butter mixture evenly over the cut side of the bread.

5

Once the garlic confit is ready, spoon the roasted garlic cloves over the buttered bread. Drizzle with a little of the garlic-infused oil.

6

Layer the prosciutto slices over the garlic.

7

Top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.

8

Bake the bread until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges are golden brown and crispy.

9

While the bread is baking, prepare the tomato topping. In a separate bowl, combine the diced cherry tomatoes, 1 tbsp olive oil, flaky sea salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh basil. Stir to mix.

10

Remove the garlic bread from the oven and top with the fresh tomato mixture.

11

Add dollops of stracciatella cheese over the tomatoes.

12

Drizzle with balsamic glaze.

13

Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
