Description

Creamy Bruschetta Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that combines a rich and smooth cream cheese base with fresh tomato and basil topping. Baked until bubbly and topped with a flavorful tomato mixture, it’s perfect for serving warm alongside toasted baguette slices, crackers, or pita chips, making it an ideal party or game day snack.

Ingredients

Dip Base

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Tomato Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a small baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dip Base: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Layer Cheese: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top.
  4. Bake Dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted.
  5. Prepare Tomato Topping: While the dip bakes, combine the finely diced cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, olive oil, and balsamic glaze in a small bowl. Stir gently to blend flavors.
  6. Top and Serve: Remove the baked dip from the oven and spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the hot dip. Serve immediately while warm with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or pita chips.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add minced garlic to the tomato topping before serving.
  • This dip can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving to save preparation time.
  • Use fresh cherry tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
  • Allow the dip to cool slightly before topping to prevent the tomato mixture from wilting.
