Steps:
- 1. Spray a medium size piece of aluminum foil with non stick spray. Place blocks of cream cheese next to each other in center of foil
- 2. Spread pesto sauce over top of cream cheese. Slice the cherry tomatoes and position on top of pesto. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Lightly sprinkle top with shredded italian cheese.
- 3. loosly wrap foil around the cream cheese mixture, leaving space at the top (kind of tented) and place on cookie sheet.
- 4. Bake at 350 just until soft and warm and flavors melded (about 30 minutes) Serve with Triscuits (I use the herb type)
Tips:
- For a smoother dip, use a food processor or blender to combine the ingredients. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can chop the basil and nuts by hand, but the dip will be chunkier.
- For a richer dip, use full-fat cream cheese. If you're looking for a lighter dip, you can use low-fat or fat-free cream cheese.
- Add a little lemon juice or white wine vinegar to the dip for a brighter flavor.
- Garnish the dip with chopped basil, grated Parmesan cheese, or pine nuts before serving.
- Serve the dip with crackers, vegetables, or bread.
Conclusion:
Pesto cream cheese dip is a flavorful and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or party food. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dip to make, give this pesto cream cheese dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
