Description

This Three-Cheese Tomato Bruschetta Dip is a creamy, cheesy twist on the classic bruschetta. Packed with layers of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, topped with fresh, juicy tomatoes and basil, itโ€™s perfect for dipping or spreading on crispy crostini.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 loaf French baguette (for crostini), sliced


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and cream cheese. Stir until smooth and well-blended. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Spread the cheese mixture into a baking dish (about 9ร—9 inches) and smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine diced tomatoes, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Top the cheese mixture with the tomato-basil mixture, spreading it evenly over the surface.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden on top.
  7. While the dip is baking, prepare the crostini: Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the dip and crostini from the oven. Serve the warm dip with the freshly baked crostini for dipping.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top of the dip before baking.
  • If you donโ€™t want to bake the crostini, you can also toast them on the stovetop in a skillet.
  • For a lighter version, you can substitute the cream cheese with Greek yogurt or sour cream.
