Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie dish or small oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until completely smooth and combined.
  3. Spread the cheese mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
  5. While the dip bakes, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, gently toss the chopped tomatoes, chopped basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
  6. Remove the baked dip from the oven. Spoon the fresh tomato mixture evenly over the hot cheese base.
  7. Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices or crackers.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use Boursin cheese in place of the cream cheese.
  • You can prepare the cheese base mixture up to one day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator before baking.
  • Toast your bread slices lightly before serving for the best texture contrast with the dip.
