So I changed this recipe and instead of using croutons I used bacon as my base! The vinegar made the bacon soft (I like my bacon firm, but the other person eating this with me likes their bacon soft). But it was still tasty and I would definitely make it again perhaps with less vinegar. It was quite easy to make and I'll add this to my recipe list. :)

I couldn't find garlic and cheese flavored croutons so I made this recipe with garlic flavored croutons. I used low-fat mozzarella cheese. I'm sure it would have been better with fresh mozzarella. At the last minute, I decided to use balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar. And I used fresh basil and put it in the oven until melted. Thanks Lainey. This is so tasty. A great appetizer :) Made for PRMR tag game

Delicious! All those crunchy yummy little croutons topped with tomatoes and melted cheese Yumm. Made as written using shredded mozzarella as that was what we had. Love Provolone and am looking forward to trying again with provolone. Will be making a lot this summer. Thanks so much for the post.
