Instructions

Start by spreading the soft cheese evenly over the center of a large plate or small platter, leaving about 1/4 inch around the edge clean.
Next, sprinkle the chopped tomatoes evenly over the cheese, followed by the fresh basil.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze back and forth over the whole plate. A little goes a long way!
Serve with pita chips, crackers, or spread on thin slices of baguette for a delightful treat.

Notes

For an extra kick, mix in some finely minced garlic with the tomatoes. Use a mix of different tomatoes for added color and texture cherry or heirloom varieties are great choices. Don’t skimp on the fresh basil; it gives the dip a delightful aroma and flavor. Customize by adding diced olives, artichokes, or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
