I created this recipe as a copy cat to one of my favorite aps at a restaurant in Columbus. As soon as I saw this on their menu, I just knew. Knew that it was going to be unbelievably delicious and bursting with flavors.

So when I came home, I obviously needed to recreate it.

And let me just say, I did a dang good job! Because y’all, this is unreal. And I can’t wait for you to make it and blow your guests away at your next dinner party!

Enjoy!

Notes

Do not prepare too far in advance, as the tomatoes can cause the bread to get soggy if sitting on it for too long.
