  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup fresh tomatoes diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped olives for a briny kick
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta for tangy flavor
  • 1/4 cup jalapeños minced for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the dip evenly.

  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Transfer the combined mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly to ensure even cooking.

  6. Cool and Serve: Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with toasted baguette slices or crackers.

Notes

  • You can customize the dip with optional ingredients such as olives, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta, or jalapeños for additional flavor and texture.
  • For a smoother texture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before beating.
  • If you prefer a spicier dip, increase the jalapeños or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Serve immediately after cooling to enjoy the warm, creamy consistency.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
