Bruschetta Dip
This Bruschetta Dip combines the fresh flavors of tomato and basil with herbed cheese for a quick and elegant appetizer that requires no cooking.
Ingredients
Cheese Spread
- 1 tub Alouette Cheese with herbs (6.5 oz) or another soft herbed cheese spread such as Boursin
Toppings
- 1/2 cup tomatoes, finely chopped (Roma or cherry tomatoes work best)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (balsamic reduction or vinaigrette glaze)
Serving Options
- to taste Pita chips, crackers, thinly sliced baguette for serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Soften the cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Spread the herbed cheese in the center of a large plate or small platter, leaving a clean 1/4-inch border around the edge.
- Evenly scatter the chopped tomatoes over the cheese, pressing lightly so they adhere.
- Sprinkle the chopped basil across the tomatoes.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze lightly back and forth over the whole plate.
- Place pita chips, crackers, toasted baguette slices around the platter and let guests scoop or spread.
Notes
For variations, consider using fresh burrata, adding proteins like beef prosciutto, making it dairy-free. Always serve this dip fresh for the best flavor.
