There’s a reason why there are festivals and parties dedicated to the tomato. The allure of a freshly picked specimen, still warm from the sun, is rivaled by no other summertime vegetable (okay, I know it’s technically a fruit, but I’m sticking with the vegetable theme right now). When you have a bumper crop of tomatoes, you try to work them into as many recipes as possible – from frittatas and shrimp “martinis”, to pasta salads and sandwiches. This particular sandwich is something really special.
As much as I would like to take credit for this unforgettable recipe, the nod goes to Courtney of Bake. Eat. Repeat. Courtney posts such recipes as Guacamole Crunch Grilled Cheese, Strawberry Nutella Fudge Pops and Watermelon Salsa. She doesn’t know it yet, but I’ll be dropping by unannounced for lunch. If I don’t give her the heads-up first, I figure I can abscond with a couple of extra Nutella pops before she knows what hit her.
As for this recipe…well, I won’t give it all away. Let’s just say there are roasted tomatoes, goat cheese, a sweet and savory balsamic syrup and browned Parmesan cheese. All of those mean one thing: You must make this…today!

This looks wonderful – I love goat cheese with tomatoes!
We love tomatoes around here, and this looks delicious! I’ll have to try this for something different than our usual tomato sandwiches
Tomatoes are my favorite especially this time of year. Love these lil sandwiches!
have some very tasty heirloom tomatoes that are ready to something special and this looks perfect. I need to go get lost over at Tasty Kitchen anyway cause I have been absent for awhile. Only thing I would change is the bread I’ll use the sourdough from TJ’s I have on hand……….thanks!!
This is a perfect lunch in my world!
Thanks for trying this and for all the sweet comments. Swing by anytime…I may even give you a Nutella Pop and save you the trouble of figuring out how to sneak the melty, drippy thing out of the house!
That balsamic syrup sounds pretty prefect with ripe summer tomatoes.
Such a perfect summer appetizer!
Yes yes yes. This is what I have to say about this recipe. It’s the goat cheese that pushes me over the edge…yum!
I love goat cheese and this combination is just beautiful. So simple but still delicious. Thanks for sharing it!
My wife and I have made something similar before, the goat cheese is simply awesome in this recipe.
This is all I need in life – tomatoes & crunchy bread. And whatever else you want to throw on there.
Oh my gosh I am adoring this recipe! I am totally making this for lunch tomorrow!
