Ingredients
Bruschetta Topping:
4 Roma tomatoes, diced
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1–2 tsp balsamic vinegar
Salt, to taste
Cheese Base:
8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt, to taste
Garnish:
Fresh basil, chopped
Red pepper flakes
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Dice tomatoes and place in a bowl with basil, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Toss gently and let marinate for 10 minutes.
In a food processor, blend feta, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly into a shallow serving dish.
Spoon the marinated tomato mixture over the top.
Garnish with extra basil, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately with bread, crackers, or vegetables.
Notes
Use ripe, firm tomatoes to avoid excess moisture.
Letting the tomato mixture sit enhances flavor.
Can be made slightly ahead—store components separately and assemble before serving.
Substitute feta with goat cheese for a milder taste.
