A warm, cheesy dip that combines the fresh flavors of a classic Caprese salad, perfect for gatherings or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup fresh chopped basil
  • 8 ounces low-moisture mozzarella cheese (cut into chunks)
  • 8 ounces shredded provolone cheese
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Crusty bread, crackers, or tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and adjust the oven rack to the middle position.
  2. In a 2-quart baking dish or cast iron skillet, place 1 cup of whole cherry tomatoes.
  3. Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil. Then, add the basil pesto, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss everything together.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes.
  5. While the tomatoes are roasting, mix together the sour cream and chopped basil in a bowl. Add the mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan cheeses, stirring until well combined.
  6. Once the tomatoes are out of the oven, stir in the cheese mixture until everything is evenly combined.
  7. Slice the remaining cup of cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them on top of the cheese mixture.
  8. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden on top.
  9. Just before serving, sprinkle with fresh basil.
