Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Base

  • 8 oz. goat cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt

Flavorings & Toppings

  • 2 grated garlic cloves
  • 1 cup tomato bruschetta
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp. balsamic glaze
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves

For Serving

  • Grilled crostini or pita slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dip evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Combine the cheeses and yogurt: In a large mixing bowl, mix the softened goat cheese, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and plain full-fat Greek yogurt together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  3. Add flavorings: Stir in the grated garlic cloves and the tomato bruschetta until they are well blended with the cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
  4. Prepare for baking: Transfer the combined mixture into a baking dish of suitable size, spreading it evenly. Drizzle the top of the dip with 1 to 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze to add a sweet and tangy finishing touch.
  5. Bake the dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges.
  6. Garnish: Remove the dip from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil leaves on top to add a fresh herbal aroma and flavor.
  7. Serve: Serve the warm dip immediately with grilled crostini or pita slices for dipping, making it perfect for sharing at parties or gatherings.

Notes

  • Softening the cheeses to room temperature ensures a smoother and easier mixing process.
  • Adjust the amount of balsamic glaze based on your preference for sweetness and acidity.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture before baking.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, substitute low-fat Greek yogurt instead of full-fat.
  • Best served warm, but leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently before serving.
