How do you make Baked Tomato and Goat Cheese Dip?
First, gather your ingredients:
- Fresh tomatoes — the little ones!
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 Shallot, chopped
- 4 ounces Goat Cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
- Fresh Basil
- Balsamic Glaze
Next, make this dip!
Start by adding tomatoes, garlic, and shallots to a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and give a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Lay your goat cheese log in the center of the tomatoes, garlic, and shallots, and bake at 425˚ for 15-20 minutes.
When you notice the tomatoes have blistered and are turning brown, remove the dish from the oven and give it a good stir.
Bust the tomatoes as you stir, allowing them to release their juices and create a creamy dip. Yum!
Sprinkle fresh basil leaves that you’ve torn by hand into the dish (save some basil for garnish!).
Spoon the dip into a serving bowl, and drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with basil.
Enjoy with crispy crostini and watch this delicious dip recipe disappear!
