Blistered Cherry Tomato & Garlic Sandwich Spread

Are you looking for the ultimate Italian sandwich sauce to take your lunch game to the next level? When you are working with rich, creamy fresh mozzarella and deeply herbaceous basil pesto, you need an element of bright acidity and sweetness to balance the bite. That is exactly where this Blistered Cherry Tomato & Garlic Sandwich Spread comes in! Instead of using raw tomatoes which can make your sandwich watery, cooking them down in a skillet transforms them. The cherry tomatoes blister and burst, releasing their natural sugars which caramelize alongside the aromatic garlic. By adding a splash of balsamic vinegar, you create a thick, jammy, umami-packed sauce that holds onto the bread without making it soggy. This incredible Italian sandwich sauce requires just a few pantry staples and takes less than 15 minutes on the stovetop. It is naturally sweet, savory, and incredibly vibrant. You can spread it on toasted ciabatta, focaccia, or whole wheat bread before layering on your cheese and pesto. It's so good, you will probably find yourself using it as a dip, a pasta base, or a bruschetta topping. Say goodbye to dry sandwiches and hello to your new favorite condiment!
