Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 18 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 14.5 oz can Contadina Petite Diced Tomatoes drained

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial for ensuring that your dip bakes evenly and gets that delicious golden top.
  • Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, light mayonnaise, and crushed garlic. Use a spatula to mix the ingredients until they are well blended and creamy.
  • Step 3: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and the drained diced tomatoes. Be gentle to maintain the texture of the cheese and tomatoes, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Step 4: Spoon the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly. You can choose a round or rectangular dish depending on your preference.
  • Step 5: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the top is bubbly and lightly browned.
  • Step 6: Once baked, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve it warm with your favorite dippers such as toasted baguette slices, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy the cheesy goodness!
