Ingredients

8 oz (225 g) goat cheese, softened to room temperature

4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt

2 garlic cloves, grated or finely minced

1 cup tomato bruschetta (homemade or good-quality jarred)

12 Tbsp balsamic glaze

23 Tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves

Crostini, pita chips, or crackers, for serving


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
    Lightly grease a 1-quart baking dish or an oven-safe skillet.

  2. Make the cheese base.
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, mozzarella, Greek yogurt, and garlic.
    Stir until well blended and smooth.

  3. Bake the dip.
    Spread the cheese mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
    Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the top is lightly golden.

  4. Add the topping.
    Remove from the oven and spoon the tomato bruschetta evenly over the hot cheese layer.
    Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with fresh basil.

  5. Serve warm with crostini, pita chips, or your favorite crackers.
    Enjoy the creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors in every bite!

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Mix the cheese layer up to 1 day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature for 1 hour before baking.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Reheating: Warm single portions in the microwave or reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
  • Leftover Idea: Use leftover dip as a sandwich or wrap spread—it pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables, deli turkey, or even scrambled eggs for breakfast.
