What Jess is referring to in the video. The Maillard reaction is the chemical reaction that occurs in the presence of heat between amino acids and reducing sugars that results in food browning thereby producing fresh aromas and flavors. Maillard is pronounced as “my-ard”, and is named after the French chemist Louis Camille Maillard, who figured out the science behind the Maillard reaction in 1912.

Oh, that sounds extraordinarily divine. I have some smoked mozzarella that I usually put in an omelette. I'm thinking I'll do the omelette and add this over the top with the mozzarella in the tomatoes. Thank you and Jess!

She ain’t kidding, folks! Delicious! I can also recommend a broccoli, cauliflower, onion, brown butter for those cooler months! I even sprinkle a bit of cheese over the veggies before the hot butter hits. Trust me on this one! 😉

My go to lunch last summer was inspired by this recipe. Two slices of tomato with the browned butter, sprinkle of fresh herbs, and the second magical ingredient “goat milk crème fraiche” from a local farmers market vendor. All between two slices of bread, heated in a cast iron skillet so the goat milk crepe fraiche softened. Nothing better! Can’t wait for my first one in a couple weeks!
Maillard is pronounced My-yard. Words are wierd. And delicious ❤
I love your personality! I found The Farmers Table even before I knew about Roots and Refuge, so for me I am seeing it all the other way around. If that makes sense lol I love cooking and I am loving your cooking tutorials so much! Thanks you for being you. A sweet and genuine person. 💛
A few years ago, brand new to gardening I found you and this snack!❤

I fell in love with brown butter when I was introduced to it by a German friend many, many years ago. I just pulled potatoes from our garden yesterday and cooked some with brown butter and parsley, like in Germany. I think I pulled mine off the heat too soon because it didn’t have that nice nutty flavor. It goes from yummy to burnt instantly so I was afraid to burn it and it was bubbling so much that I couldn’t monitor the color of the butter very well. I still enjoyed my potatoes for dinner and some more fried up with eggs for breakfast this morning. I can’t wait to try the brown butter when my tomatoes come in. Thanks for all of your joy and enthusiasm.
The first time I tried this was a couple years ago when you made them with Ben and shot a video. I used Yellow Pear and red sweet 100 cherry tomatoes. It was PHENOMENAL!
As a chemist, I discovered the Millard reaction in high school and it is one of the reasons I went into chemistry! I have loved brown butter sage on just about everything. Heard about it back in the 90s. Grateful that you are spreading the word about simple cooking that tastes divine!!
I've never heard of brown butter tomatoes, I'm gonna try it. Can't wait for the brown butter peach cobbler. Have a great weekend Jess!
I had the first white cucumber out of the garden today. Same reaction, lol. 🤤
❤ I made this for myself and had to put some in the refrigerator until the next meal - it wasn’t there! ‘Someone’ ate it as a leftover and wouldn’t admit it. 😂
mind officially boggled.....I don't like vegetables...I know....I'm learning...I'm tasting...I'm growing. This was Soooooo delicious...used cherry tomatos from the bumblebee collection. YUMMERS!!
I'm definitely trying this tonight when i get home. I remember you showing on R&R but forgot about it. You always make me smile Jessica
Im pregnant and this sounds sooooo good 😅 gonna run to the garden real quick 😂

Not a fan of big tomatoes but will try with cherry ones once they start coming in. The lobster and butter reference sold me!
"I may be saying it wrong, I learned it from reading." We're proud of you, Jess!! ❤
Absolute Magic. Brown Butter tomatoes are a delightful surprise. I've been enjoying this Roots and Refuge / Farmer's Table delicacy since you mention it a few years ago on of your Roots & Refuge, Arkansas, video. Jess, you’ve inspired me to conduct all kinda Brown Butter experiments: steamed snap beans--heavenly; oven roasted roots like golden beets and carrots; things like snap peas, mushrooms, and onions need to softened by some form of cooking before over pouring Brown Butter, but they are divine stand alone or together. Brown Butter even elevates baked goods like cookies. Big love and gratitude.
Thank you Jessica! I tried this after watching your video. I went outside and picked one of my German Johnson tomatoes. You are right, the first bite I immediately thought I tasted lobster in drawn butter! This is delicious. Wow! A great recipe.
Another reason to use stainless instead of cast iron or nonstick is so you can see the color of the butter. It's a pretty wild guessing game to tell when it's about to go too brown in cast iron (you can tell with your nose, but it's LOTS harder and why would you do that to yourself?), especially if you have foamy butter. THANK YOU for sharing this again! I'm away from my home tomatoes, but I'm going to the farmers market in the town I'm visiting first thing in the morning to get tomatoes for this! I CAN'T WAIT.
Browned Butter over Steamed Cauliflower is fantastic!
Just put garden tomatoes on the countertop to try this..have a glorious day!
I dont eat tomatoes and I actually read it wrong when I clicked on it 😂 my brain said potato, brown butter potatoes are fantastic so anyone who eats tomatoes I can imagine would love this. Would love to see other brown butter recipes I think its definitely series worthy. 💜💜
Oh my you are making my mouth water. My first tomato will be made this way
You shared this when you were still in Arkansas and I tried it for the first time. It is not really even explainable how good this is. My slicers are not ready yet but getting some cherries are so this reminder is up for later today to make it!! Thanks for reminding me!!😍
This has become a summer staple in our home from the first time you posted this recipe from your kitchen in Arkansas. My son especially loves them ❤
You just made my tomatoes fattening! I'm never going to lose those pounds! 😆

I tried this a few years ago when you first showed us how to make it; Mind BLOWN! this is one of my favorite flavors. I'm looking forward to my first big slicer--that baby's getting a butter bath!
I can not think of anything that the addition of butter does not make better!😊

@patriceg1100 I agree, I first tried brown butter by accident. I got distracted making my fried eggs for breakfast and my butter was dark but since it didn't smell burned I quickly added my eggs to fry. Delicious!
I love grilled tomatoes either grill or air fryer. Yum xx❤❤
You turned me onto this a few years back. Thank you, thank you and YUMMM!!!! It is now a regular thing for me. I do a slight variation... I use unsalted butter otherwise it is too salty for me. I also throw some greens in the bowl with the tomatoes, usually arugula but sometimes spinach. I often have it with a scoop of cottage cheese on the side. SO GOOD! Now I have to wait for tomatoes (another month from now here at 9000ft+ in the Colorado mountains). Maybe I'l pick up some store bought... hmmm?
I tried Becky's at Acrehomestead brown butter rice crispy treats and...yeah, it's worth the extra effort. God bless!
I was just recently thinking of when you shared this recipe on Roots and Refuge a while back and I wanted to try it with my homegrown tomatoes. The timing of this video is perfect, thank you Jess! I look forward to trying it!

One of my favorite recipes that you’ve shared in the past! Yummy, yum yum ✌️🤍
Drooling!!! I’ve been reading comments and I’m always so moved at the Joy you bring Jess, I Am blessed every time I watch! Also it seems tomatoes are taking their time producing this year!!! Interesting. I sure am going to try this! I think BB sage or thyme would be amazing too! Love love love
Ooh! Saving this for when my tomatoes are ready 😋
Oh I'll have to try remember next summer; Southern hemisphere here!
I can't wait to try this. I think this is the first tomatoes "recipe," without garlic.
Jess, I saw you make this on R&R to share with Ben, and I had a huge Kellogg's breakfast tomato sitting on the counter, so it became the trial recipe. Oh, heaven! Sometimes now when I make it I like to toss a couple sage leaves in the butter to fry up as it browns. Many yummy iterations yet to be discovered. I make a baked feta to take to potlucks, and I can see putting these tomatoes on top!
I tried this twice, it just DID NOT knock my socks off. BUT watching the original video with Ben too, too cute!!!!
I must try this! I absolutely love tomatoes!
Thankful for the reminder! I haven’t made this for a long time!
Hi from Minnesota! Love your cooking and gardening videos and both your channels. Thanks for another great recipe. Appreciate you and your positivity, Jess. ❤😊
I hope I remember this when our tomatoes are ripe. They just started setting fruit
Have eaten tomatoes prepared this way for over seventy years. Common preparation in our home. (Dutch). Delicious. Also liked it served on crispy toast with black pepper.
I tried this last year and now I’m hooked! So excited for this season’s tomatoes!
Love your content and channel! Happy to hear there's a Canada adventure coming! -sending all love and fishy vibes from BC :)
I can't wait to try this as soon as my tomatoes are ready!
Oh man, I am definitely trying this tonight!
My mouth was watering watching this recipe!
Oh my gosh I cannot wait to try this! I never would have put the two together but I am more than willing to try it.
I have never tried this recipe but when you tasted Jess your face just was a joy to watch so because of it I will try as soon as my tomatoes ripe. Funny enough I have a volunteer tomato growing next to the septic tank the middle of winter. No idea how and why but I am not complaining just waiting🍅🍅🍅😊🎉
I can't believe that this is new to me. And I'm so excited to get home from work and make this for dinner!! Yay Jess yay!
I can't wait to try this when my tomatoes start to ripping! Nothing like home grown tomatoes 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
I have watched you make a video about this previously.. but man, thanks for this reminder. I AM MAKING this as soon as my tomatoes ripen!
Ohhh... thinking about little thin strips of fresh basil in with the tomato... then the brown butter! Blessings Kiddo! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
Absolutely going to try this once my tomatoes are ready 😃
❤ I learned it from reading! Growing up i've read a lot. Both my parents were college educated, so they had a vocabulary. One time, I went to my mom and I was talking to her about the guys "lay-pulls" he was wearing. She looked at me confused and said what? I said lay pulls! Again, she asked me what, for clarification. By this point, I was irritated, not wanting to feel stupid. I hollered out. You know, the laypullss on the guy's jacket. Doing an exaggerative hands moving up and down my chest as if it were on a jacket. She said OH! You mean lapels!! I never lived that down for the next twenty years.She laughed so hard! Wonderful memory ❤️ I'd only ever read it in a book😂
I eat this like once a week at this point SO GOOD 😍
I was watching as I was making my lunch and decided to try it. I do love tomatoes. I have my first ripe Hungarian Heart tomato and I made the recipe and it was okay but I’m afraid I wasn’t as enthusiastic as you. Would have probably preferred my tomato with cottage cheese or a fried bologna and tomato sandwich.
Going to try this for sure with my home grown tomatoes!
Hurry up tomatoes! Cant wait to try it.
I love this! I want to try it adding in some fresh basil, and we have fresh home made goat cheese, so some blobs of that, getting kind of melty from the warm butter, is making my mouth water! Thanks for sharing your beautiful self, your family and all your mad skills with us!! You have been a huge influence on the course of my life the last 5 years!❤
Jess I fry olive oil garlic and salt and throw it over sliced cabbage and parsley. It’s next level! Butter garlic and salt and parsley over prawns is also amazing!
I can’t wait for my first slicer to ripen so that I can try this!
That looks delicious. Will definitely be trying. Think my husband would like it too. Thank you for another amazing recipe. ❤️
My tomatoes aren't near ready but I will go to the farmers market and get some there. This looks dreamy.
My mom made this when I was growing up! It’s one of my favorite ways to have tomatoes. It’s especially good with Kalamata olives over angel hair pasta with pepper. You can also add mizithra cheese, we called it “snow” on top haha!

So good. Made my mouth water watching you make it. Ohioan here that doesn't have ripe tomatoes yet. So sad.
Definitely going to try this. When you described it my mouth watered, too.
You had me at lobster and butter! ❤ Definitely trying that soon. I made a new batch of Basil Tea today😊
Yup, made the BB chocolate chip cookies. Crazy good.
I saw you make this with one of your sobs a couple of years ago...I will definitely give this a try...Butter. .Fresh tomatoes. .what's not to love
Just made this with my black cherry tomatoes and I’m hooked. I added a bit of garlic, after I tasted it as you made it and it too was fantastic. With the leftover brown butter I sautéed some yellow squash with onions, it was delicious. I can see your point about brown butter elevating a dish, thank you so much, I can’t wait to share this wonderful dish.
You got me hooked on this recipe a few years ago… love it!!! 🧈🍅😋
This is a summer staple for me & thank you Jess, I discovered it from you years ago! Of the several varieties of tomatoes I grow, my "go to's" for this dish are a combo of my Juan Flamme (orange apricot sized) & Paul Robeson or Berkley Tie Dye tomatoes. The brightly sweet citrus of the Juan Flamme & the smokiness of the Reds combined with the browned butter is spectacular. Sometimes if I'm feeling extra fancy, I'll toss an herb in the butter to go with. Sage, tarragon or thyme work very nicely! Thanks for sharing this recipe again for us. Everyone needs to give this a try!!😊
What also really good is when you fry bacon while the grease is hot poor it over tomatoes. Heavenly taste!
Sounds great! Now i just need the tomatoes.
We watched this video last night and I made it for our breakfast using 3 types of tomatoes- Dr. Wyche’s yellow, Paul Robeson, and Cherokee Purple. It was scrumptious (and I think that’s the only time I’ve ever used that word.) I even finished it off with Maldon flaky salt. Tomato and mayo sandwiches are great but brown butter tomatoes are next level.
Had never heard of this before. I am headed out to the vines to find a tomato now! Thanks again Jess! UPDATE: It is very good! If you are a lover of tomatoes & cottage cheese…I think you will love this too!
