Tomato Pie Dip
Serves: about 4½ cups
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 (8-ounce) packages mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 1⁄2 cups chopped seeded tomato (about 3 medium tomatoes)
- 1⁄3 cup chopped fresh basil
- Toasted baguette slices, to serve
- Garnish: chopped fresh basil, ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray an 8-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, beat mozzarella, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic salt with a mixer at medium speed until well combined; stir in tomatoes and basil. Spread mixture into prepared skillet.
- Bake until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes; serve warm with toasted bread. Garnish with basil and pepper, if desired.
Notes
Kitchen Tip: Make this dip Southwestern-flavored by swapping mozzarella for Monterey Jack, replacing garlic salt with taco or fajita seasoning, adding a minced jalapeño, and substituting cilantro for basil.
