Garlic and Balsamic Grape Tomatoes

These Garlic and Balsamic Grape Tomatoes are going to be your new favorite way to eat tomatoes!

I shared this recipe way back in the day when I was first blogging, which means two things. One – this recipe is legit and I’ve been making it forever and ever. I needed to share it with you right away because it was (and still is) one of the best go-to recipes that I can pull out of my pocket without even looking up the recipe. Two – the photos were horrible. The recipe was also just typed right into the post, without the option to print or all the other fancy stuff you can do nowadays.

I wanted to share this recipe with you again because it continues to be a standard in my house. I first learned how to make these garlic and balsamic grape tomatoes at my awesome deli job in college. There they were served on what I still consider to be the best vegetarian sandwich. It was hummus, mozzarella, spinach, and these velvety tomatoes grilled between two sides of a kaiser roll. It’s a sandwich I still make and enjoy today.

There are tons of ways to use these garlic and balsamic tomatoes, here are a few ways to customize and try!

• Serve on the above-mentioned sandwich
• Serve over a frittata
• Layer ciabatta bread with pesto, provolone, and these tomatoes, then press in a panini press
• Enjoy with creamy polenta
• Use as a topping for scrambled eggs on toast
• If you don’t want the tomatoes splattering on your stove top, cook them in a 400º oven on a baking pan instead
• Use as a topping or mix-in for hummus
