Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Tomato Mixture
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes, finely diced
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Topping
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Spread the softened cream cheese evenly in a shallow serving dish to create a smooth base layer for the dip.
- Mix the Tomato Topping: In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, and minced garlic. Stir gently to mix the flavors thoroughly without breaking down the tomatoes.
- Assemble the Dip: Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the cream cheese base, ensuring it is well distributed across the top.
- Add the Finishing Touch: Drizzle the balsamic glaze elegantly over the tomato layer to add a sweet and tangy flavor contrast.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier spreading.
- This dip pairs wonderfully with toasted baguette slices or crackers.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the tomato mixture if desired.
