My mother ceremoniously decided to buy two loaves of bread during her trip to Costco when we already had an overflowing pantry. Days went by even with my constant reminders but the loaves of bread remained untouched. The bread lover in me couldn't bear to see the loaves go to waste. <br /> <br />So, I decided to take matters into my own hands but couldn't decide between a bruschetta, garlic bread, or caprese salad for dinner, so this is what happened. I didn't have any basil on hand hence my use of "almost" in the name. Feel free to add basil for an extra pop of freshness and color and just so you can avoid using the word almost when people ask you what you're serving them! <br /> <br />Just a note: this recipe can be easily adjusted to feed a crowd and most ingredients can be changed out to fit your pantry and fridge but don't substitute the smoked mozzarella or skip the balsamic glaze. Both make a huge difference in flavor and is really what makes this dish unique!
