Ingredients
8 oz plain cream cheese, softened
8 oz basil pesto sauce in oil, or homemade if you’re feeling ambitious
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium tomatoes, diced (plum tomatoes are best for this)
Preparation
Spread softened cream cheese over entire bottom of a shallow serving platter or pie plate.
Evenly spread pesto sauce over the cream cheese.
Sprinkle garlic over pesto and top with the chopped tomato.
Place a spreader or small spoon in the dish for topping on toasted French bread, crackers, toasted bagels, pita chips or packaged cocktail rye bread.
