Ingredients

Scale

For the Goat Cheese Mixture:

  • 8 oz (225 g) goat cheese
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Bruschetta Topping:

  • 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes (Roma or cherry tomatoes work best)
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Serving:

  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)
  • Toasted baguette slices, crackers, or pita chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Goat Cheese Mixture:
    • In a medium bowl, mix the goat cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
    • Spread the mixture evenly into an oven-safe dish or skillet.
  3. Bake the Goat Cheese:
    • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden on the edges.
  4. Prepare the Bruschetta Topping:
    • While the cheese bakes, combine the diced tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss gently to mix.
  5. Assemble the Dip:
    • Remove the goat cheese from the oven and spoon the bruschetta topping over the warm cheese. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or pita chips.

Notes

  • Cheese Variations: Add a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan or mozzarella on top of the goat cheese before baking for extra cheesiness.
  • Make Ahead: The goat cheese mixture and bruschetta topping can be prepared ahead of time. Assemble and bake just before serving.
  • Add-Ins: For extra flavor, mix in chopped sun-dried tomatoes or roasted garlic with the goat cheese.
