Bruschetta Dip

posted by anniebakes on January 14, 2011     13 comments »

I have a friend named Julie and oddly enough she grew up not far from where I live! She lives in South Carolina now with her 3 boys, but we have great email conversations about our love of the North woods of Northern WI. When I saw this on her site Mommie Cooks! I just knew I had to give it a try…


Bruschetta Dip

INGREDIENTS:

4 ounces cream cheese-room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
1 large bunch basil, chopped
1 can artichoke hearts-chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound mozzarella-chopped small
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 loaf french bread
1/4 cup olive oil
garlic powder

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl combine the cream cheese and sour cream. In a separate bowl, marinate the mozzarella, pepper, salt and balsamic vinegar for about 20 minutes. To the first bowl, add the tomato, basil, artichoke hearts and garlic and stir to combine. Add in the marinated mozzarella and stir. Place the dip in a shallow oven proof bowl and bake for 15 minutes. Pull it out, stir it up and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Place it back in the oven for another 10 minutes. While that is cooking, slice the French loaf, brush it with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder and place them on a sheet tray. When the dip is done, switch the oven to “broil” and place the bread under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp up. Serve the dip on the warm bread.

Thanks Julie, this one was a winner!!
