My roasted tomato dip is super easy! I’m not exaggerating, you literally roast some cherry or grape tomatoes (is there a difference?), add that to whipped cream cheese, mozzarella and parmesan and bake. That’s it!
I made it this past weekend, shot it for this post and then had my parents over. It was so easy to reheat and was delicious! You could add green chilies, habanero or jalapeno to it if you wanted an added kick. I served it with crackers, but totally grab a crusty baguette or cruditรฉ.
The tomatoes end upย so flavourful and blend in with the cheese.ย I tossed them with some fresh herbs, EVOOย and S&P. I like it simple and easy. Sometimes it’s nice to not overcomplicate things.
I’m going to make this again for the holiday season when friends come by, and really it can be made all year round. People like cheese, they like to dip stuff in cheese, eat that gooey cheese and go back again for another bite. So it’s a no brainer to make and serve to your guests.
If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, try this one. I bought mine from HomeSense, but you can easily find some good deals out there on the web. The skillet lets you get a nice crust on this dish, meat, veggies, dessertsย or hashes. It’s really versatile and the more you season and use it, the better your food gets. No seriously, some people have skillets passed on through generations. Just don’t wash it with soap and water!
Enjoy! Besides my roasted tomato dip, what will you be serving up this holiday season? I’m also sharing a dessert and soup this month, so stay tuned for those!
Any tried and true recipes you make each year? Family recipes?
This sounds absolutely delicious, you can’t beat tomato. cheese and bread ๐
