Ingredients

  • 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (1 cup)
  • 4 ounces shredded Gouda cheese (1 cup)
  • 3/4 cup chopped basil leaves
  • 1 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • Extra basil leaves
  • 2 baguettes, sliced
  • Olive oil

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 F.
  2. Spray a baking dish (9″ round pan by 2″ deep) with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Mix cream cheese, sour cream, mustard powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and black pepper in a large bowl until combined. Add shredded cheese and chopped basil.
  4. Spread mixture into a baking dish and place halved grape tomatoes on top.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through. The cheese should be bubbling with the tomatoes starting to split. Remove from the oven and top with basil leaves.
  6. Let the dip rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  7. While the dip is resting, place the sliced bread onto a baking sheet and drizzle the slices with olive oil. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes until the bread is toasted.
