Photo © Tara Donne
Serves 6 to 8
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice (approximately 1/2 lemon)
8 ounces goat cheese
2 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1/8 tsp. kosher salt
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
Directions
Use a 4- or 6-quart slow cooker with an oven-safe dish inserted. Spray the baking dish with cooking spray and place it into the slow cooker. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic and lemon juice. Spread half of the cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish. Pinch the goat cheese into 1/2-inch pieces and sprinkle on top of the cream-cheese mixture. Place half of the tomato pieces on top of the goat cheese, and layer on the rest of the cream-cheese mixture. Top with the remaining tomato pieces, and sprinkle the salt and pepper on top. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or on high for about 2 hours. The dip is finished when it is hot and bubbly and the tomato skins have wilted. Serve with crackers or bagel chips.
