Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes or until softened and fragrant. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
In a food processor, combine the sun-dried tomatoes (drained of excess oil), roasted garlic, softened cream cheese, and sour cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, basil leaves, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse the mixture until well incorporated and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan, or additional chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted bread. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
