Notes
Cooking Notes:
Letting the tomato mixture sit briefly allows the garlic and basil to blend with the tomato juices. Campari tomatoes work especially well because they are sweet and juicy without making the dip watery. Spreading the cheese evenly in the bowl first creates a creamy base that balances the bright tomato topping. Tips for Best Results:
The dip should appear layered with creamy cheese on the bottom and the fresh tomato mixture on top. The crostini should be golden and crisp.

- Dice the tomatoes evenly so the topping spreads smoothly over the cheese.
- Lightly salt the tomatoes and allow them to rest a few minutes to enhance flavor.
- Toast the crostini until crisp so it holds up well when scooping the dip.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze just before serving to keep the topping fresh.
