Notes

Use Fresh Ingredients: If you can, try to use as many fresh ingredients and veggies as possible. High quality, fresh produce can make all the difference in the flavor and texture of your dip!

Tomato Preparation: Be sure to dice your ripe, Roma tomatoes finely and use a paper towel to remove any excess moisture from the tomatoes before adding them to your dip. This helps to prevent your bruschetta from becoming too runny or watery.

Taste as You Go: As you’re making your dip, be sure to taste test and add more herbs, spices, or olive oil to flavor it to your liking.

Room Temperature Ingredients: Letting your butter and cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing helps to avoid clumpiness and ensures a smooth, spreadable consistency.

Toasting Your Bread: If you want to toast your baguette, you can cut it into uniform slices and then lightly brush the slices with olive oil before toasting.

Let it Marinate: If you have extra time, letting your dip marinate in the refrigerator for thirty minutes before serving can enhance the flavors even more.
