Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz goat cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
  • Crostini or baguette slices for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a small bowl, mix goat cheese and cream cheese until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of your baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, chopped basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat.
  4. Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
  5. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the tomatoes are lightly roasted.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with more fresh basil and serve with toasted baguette slices.

Notes

  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Warm in the oven or microwave until heated through.
Freezing: Not recommended due to the cheese and tomato texture after thawing.
