Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
  • 8 ounces goat cheese (1 log)
  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  • ¼ pound yellow cherry tomatoes divided
  • ¼ pound red cherry tomatoes divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 6-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, ricotta, goat cheese, feta, garlic, salt, lemon juice, and basil. Use a spoon to combine as much as possible, although it doesn't need to be perfect. When combined as much as you can by hand, stir in half of the tomatoes.

Notes

Recipe adapted from White on Rice Couple.
  • Note: The tomatoes will be little bombs of hot liquid! Be careful :) If they haven't split in the oven, it helps to pierce each one to let some steam out once removed from the oven. Wait about 10 minutes before serving.
Storage: Store goat cheese dip tightly covered with aluminum foil in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
