Garlic and balsamic grape tomatoes are a savory dream.

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 cheesy hummus and veggie paninis
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
