Get ready with this gooey, cheesy, go-to party dip!Serves 24
8 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese (We used shredded mozzarella)
8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), softened
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 1/2 tbsp Herbs de Provence Seasoning mix (Recipe below)
3 garlic cloves
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 pint grape tomatoes
Toasted Baguette Slices, assorted vegetables or crackers
We sliced a Baguette and toasted our slices when our Cheesy Bruschetta was almost done.
Preheat oven to 425°F
Grate mozzarella using Microplane with an Adjustable Coarse Grater (We used shredded mozzarella).Mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, seasoning mix, garlic pressed through a Garlic Press and pepper in a Bowl; stir in mozzarella. Place half of the tomatoes in Manual Food Processor until coarsely chopped; add them to cheese mixture. We used our salad chopper and it worked fine. Repeat with remaining tomatoes and stir them gently into cheese mixture. Scrape cheese mixture into Round Covered Baker and microwave it, uncovered, on HIGH 1-2 minutes or just until cheese starts to melt; stir halfway through cooking.
Then...Bake, uncovered, 16-18 minutes or until bubbly or golden brown. Remove baker from oven. Serve dip with Toasted Baguette Slices, assorted vegetables, or crackers.
