Don’t let cooler weather stop you from enjoying the end of tomato season! Unlike most cheese dips that are gooey, this variation, made with goat cheese, is rich and creamy.
It is delicious spread on a warm, sliced baguette from Heinen’s Bakery with a drizzle of Heinen’s Balsamic Glaze.
If you’re looking to make this appetizer personal size, I recommend dividing the dip into small ramekins for individual portions.
