Bruschetta Basil Dip (Print-Friendly Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
Slice up half a cup of juicy tomatoes
02 -
Snag about 6.5 ounces of soft garlicky cheese—think Boursin or Alouette
03 -
Sprinkle on a scoop (quarter cup) of chopped fresh basil—super fragrant
04 -
Drizzle two tablespoons of balsamic reduction or glaze on everything
05 -
Stock up on crunchy crackers, thin baguette rounds, or pita chips for dunking and scooping
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Plop your soft herby cheese right in the middle of a big plate. Nudge it around into a little circle, but don’t cover the whole platter. Let some of the dish show.
02 -
Toss those tomato pieces across the cheese mound, then follow up with a blast of fresh basil on top. That’s where all the color and good smells come from.
03 -
Scribble a little balsamic glaze over it all. It’s punchy, so just a bit will do the trick.
04 -
Grab pita chips, crackers, or slices of baguette and scoop it all up. Don’t forget to load on every layer for the best bite.
# Helpful Notes:

Trader Joe’s carries a super good balsamic glaze—look by vinegars and dressings at most stores.
