Bread deserves better, and this sun-dried tomato dipping oil proves it. What starts as a simple mix of chopped tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil turns into a rich, savory dip layered with Italian herbs, salty cheese, and the unmistakable depth of our chef-crafted blends. With Table 40 Seasoning bringing bright, herbal balance and Sergio’s adding a subtle savory kick, this recipe tastes like something straight from a tucked-away trattoria.
What makes it shine is the way the flavors build on each other. The sun-dried tomatoes provide concentrated sweetness, the Parmesan adds nutty richness, and the blends tie everything together into one harmonious, scoopable bite. It comes together in minutes, but the flavor feels slow-built and intentional.
Ingredients
- ½ small jar sun-dried tomatoes in oil, minced
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Table 40 Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon Sergio’s Seasoning
-
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
Directions
- Layer the ingredients: In a shallow dish, add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Table 40, Sergio’s, and Parmesan. Spread them evenly so each bite gets a bit of everything.
- Add the olive oil: Pour the olive oil over the top and gently mix until the ingredients are fully coated and evenly distributed.
- Let it rest: Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for up to 1 hour. This gives the herbs time to hydrate, the garlic to mellow, and the tomatoes to infuse the oil with their deep, savory flavor.
- Serve: Pair with warm bread, sliced baguette, or crisp crostini. It also works beautifully spooned over grilled vegetables or mixed into warm pasta.
Serving Tips
- Host-ready: Set out with a loaf of bread before dinner — it’s the kind of appetizer that disappears quickly.
- Everyday upgrade: Use leftovers as a finishing drizzle for chicken, roasted potatoes, or a quick lunchtime salad.
- Gift it: Pack into a small jar with a bakery-fresh baguette for an easy, homemade holiday gift that feels anything but last-minute.
Why the Blends Matter
Table 40 lends classic Italian herb flavor while Sergio’s adds savory roundness that keeps the dip from feeling one-note. Together, they amplify the sweetness of the tomatoes and the richness of the olive oil, creating a balanced, layered dip without any extra effort.
A New Way to Dip
A good dipping oil should feel special, and this one does. With bold flavor, simple prep, and ingredients that shine on their own, it turns everyday bread into something memorable — no complicated steps, just pure, crave-worthy flavor.
