This Bruschetta Cheese Ball is a fresh and flavorful twist on the classic cheese ball, inspired by the bright, bold flavors of bruschetta. It combines creamy cheeses with garlic, basil, and sun-dried tomatoes, then gets topped with a juicy tomato topping. Serve it with toasted baguette slices or crackers for a delicious party starter that looks as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheese Ball:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped

  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Bruschetta Topping:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste

To Serve:

  • Toasted baguette slices or crackers

  • Extra basil or balsamic glaze for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  2. Shape the mixture into a ball using plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

  3. While the cheese ball chills, make the topping: mix tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

  4. When ready to serve, place the cheese ball on a serving plate. Spoon the tomato topping over the top.

  5. Garnish with extra basil or a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.

  6. Serve with toasted baguette slices or crackers.

 

Notes

  • You can make the cheese ball up to a day ahead—just add the bruschetta topping right before serving.

  • Use roasted garlic for a sweeter, milder flavor.

  • If you prefer a firmer texture, mix in a bit more Parmesan cheese.
