Blistered Balsamic Cherry Tomatoes is so easy to create. All you need is a skillet that can take high heat, oil, balsamic vinegar and salt to taste. This dish is made in minutes and is super tasty.

Cherry tomatoes are so yummy, they are cooked in oil until they are warmed through but still hold their shape. Balsamic vinegar is poured on top and reduced to a modest thick sauce. Blistered Balsamic Cherry Tomatoes tastes good on top of pasta or rice, with eggs for brunch, or on its own on crackers or toast. 

To serve, I usually cut the vines in half, and prop them on top of whatever I’m serving, and then drizzle the balsamic reduction over the top, which ends up as a puddle on the plate.

This dish also makes for a great side salad all by itself, don’t forget. Look at it, it’s delicious.
