Combine all of the cheese dip ingredients in an oven safe dish for serving. You do not need to mix them up yet, but make sure the basil is buried so that it does not burn from direct heat.
Bake the cheese dip until the cheese is melted, stirring occassionally.
While the cheese dip is cooking, make the tomato topping by combining those ingredients in a small bowl. Adjust taste to preference with more of any ingredient as desired.
When ready to serve, spoon the tomato topping across the cheese dip. Garnish with additional basil or fresh Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately with dunkers like chips or crostini.
Notes
Crostini are a great dunker for this cheese dip. Get the recipe here!Find more caprese inspired recipes here!Balsamic glaze is the perfect way to top off this cheese dip! The acidity cuts through the richness of the cheese. Regular balsamic vinegar would also work.This is low carb/keto without the balsamic.
