Instructions

Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix the goat cheese, cream cheese, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Bake the Cheese: Spread the cheese mixture in a small baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is warm and slightly golden on top.
Make the Bruschetta Topping: While the cheese is baking, prepare the bruschetta topping. In a separate bowl, combine the diced cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, balsamic glaze, olive oil, and salt. Stir well.
Assemble & Serve: Once the cheese dip is out of the oven, spoon the bruschetta topping over the warm cheese. Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices or crackers for dipping.

Notes

Tip: You can add honey on top for a sweet-savory twist or fresh mozzarella for extra creaminess.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
