Ingredients

Scale

Tomato Mixture:

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (about 2 medium)
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cream Cheese Base:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • Sliced baguette or crackers for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Tomato Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, mozzarella, red onion, minced garlic, and basil. Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
  2. Prepare Cream Cheese Base: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and spreadable. Spread the cream cheese evenly onto a serving dish or shallow bowl.
  3. Assemble: Spoon the tomato mixture over the cream cheese layer and gently spread to cover.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  5. Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature with sliced baguette or crackers.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, use part-skim mozzarella and reduced-fat cream cheese.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
