Ingredients:
- 1 (28 oz.) can Dei Fratelli Chopped Italian Tomatoes, drained
- 1 tsp. Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 (8 oz.) package Cream Cheese, softened
- 6 oz. Goat Cheese, softened
- 1 tsp. Garlic, minced
- 1/2 Cup Basil Pesto
Instructions:
- Line 4 ramekins, or small bowls with plastic wrap, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix drained Dei Fratelli Chopped Italian Tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, goat cheese, and garlic. Using a hand mixer, whip the ingredients together on high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the basil pesto to the cheese mixture and continue to whip on medium-high speed until well blended, about 1 minute.
- In each ramekin or bowl, layer the bottom with the cheese mixture until coated.
- Spoon the tomato mixture over the top of the cheese mixture, being sure to cover it completely.
- Add another layer of the cheese mixture, spreading evenly.
- Spoon another layer of tomatoes, making sure to cover it completely.
- Finish by topping with one more layer of cheese mixture.
- Cover the ramekins or bowls with a layer of plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
- Once chilled, remove the top layer of plastic wrap. Turn the chilled ramekin or bowl upside down on a plate so the dip falls out. Remove the remaining plastic wrap.
Chef's Tip:
Take sliced almonds and cover the sides and top of the dip. Serve with crackers or a sliced baguette!
