Basic Garlic Butter Tomato Sauce

Blistered cherry tomatoes simmered with garlic, balsamic, and butter into a thick, tangy sauce. Simple, versatile, and excellent on toast, eggs, or pasta.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt to taste

Steps

1. Cook cherry tomatoes in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with no oil until skins blister and tomatoes soften.
2. Reduce heat, add olive oil and garlic, and cook carefully without browning the garlic.
3. Press tomatoes gently with a spoon to release juices. Add balsamic and reduce until thickened, 5–10 minutes.
4. Finish with butter and season with salt to taste.
