Description
A creamy, tangy dip made with goat cheese, fresh tomatoes, and herbs, served warm with crispy crostini.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz goat cheese, creamy and spreadable
- 2 cups fresh tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup balsamic reduction
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 baguette, sliced for crostini
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix the chopped tomatoes with salt and pepper, and let them sit to drain moisture.

Notes
For added flavor, lightly brush crostini with olive oil before toasting. Avoid using dried herbs for the best flavor.
