Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 ounces Boursin cheese (or other herbed cheese spread)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Crusty bread slices, pita chips, or crackers for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, and Boursin cheese. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Stir in the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper into the cheese mixture. Spread this creamy base evenly into a serving dish.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, and lemon zest. Gently toss to coat the tomatoes.
- Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the top of the cheese base.
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the **Creamy Bruschetta Dip** chilled or at room temperature with toasted baguette slices or your favorite chips.
Notes
- For a make-ahead option, prepare the tomato topping and the cheese base separately and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Assemble just before serving.
- If you prefer a slightly warmer flavor profile without baking, let the assembled dip sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
- This **Easy Appetizer Dip** pairs well with both savory crackers and fresh vegetables.
