Look at this glorious, wonderful, dip you all, it’s so good! With football season starting up again and pre-season games already happening, we’ve gotten so many requests for game-day recipes. We love a good game-day recipe. They’re some of the best recipes of the fall season. This season, I’m really going to focus on sharing more dips since we don’t have many in our recipe library. Appetizers have never been something I’ve overly shared in the past, but I’m finally embracing them and having fun too! I thought this simple dip up while I was out hiking last week. Yes, my most favorite recipes come to me in the morning while I hike. I knew I had a lot of tomatoes on my counter that needed to be used up. They were very much on their last leg. Past their prime for eating fresh, BUT great for roasting! I thought they could be so yummy if I turned them into a cheesy pizza-style dip with creamy burrata cheese and lots and lots of pepperoni and basil. So I did just that and all I have to say is, mmmm!
Here are the details
Step 1: roast the tomatoes. I love to use fresh cherry tomatoes for this. They’re the perfect size and delicious when roasted. Toss the tomatoes with olive oil, oregano, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Then roast in the oven until they burst. Once they’ve burst, mix the tomatoes with your favorite marinara sauce. I love Rao’s or the Carbone marinara. Step 2: mix the cheese While the tomatoes roast, mix some cream cheese into the shredded provolone cheese. When the tomatoes are ready, dollop the cheese mix over the tomatoes, then finish with mozzarella and burrata cheese. Bake this up until the cheese is super melty and the dish is smelling wonderful. Step 3: serve and enjoy Top the whole dish with fresh basil, then serve while warm and melty. It’s everything you’d expect out of a fancy multistep recipe, but made in way less than an hour – and in one pot too. Simple, simple, gotta love that. You can serve this up on busy weeknights, but it’s equally great for dinners with friends and family. I’m sure I’ll be remaking this over and over through the end of summer and into fall. Yum!
