Baked Tomato Goat Cheese Dip with fresh herbs and capers. Simple, delicious appetizer – serve with toasted baguette.

This recipe was created years ago during the summer I grew so many grape tomatoes I couldn’t eat or give them away fast enough. Not a bad problem to have.

Along came this fresh Tomato Goat Cheese Galette made with summer, sun-ripened tomatoes. This Baked Tomato Goat Cheese Dip wasn’t far behind.

The blend of tangy goat cheese, sweet roasted tomatoes and briny capers and absolutely delicious. Give the recipe a try. You won’t be disappointed.

This is one of those appetizers you can make all year. Of course, sun-ripened tomatoes are always good, but roasting them as you’ll see below creates a really delicious sweet sauce with the tomatoes.

Cherry tomatoes would also work really well in this recipe.

how to make baked goat cheese dip:

NOTE: depending upon the brand of goat cheese you buy, it may come in 4 or 5 ounces. Either amount works well.

Preheat the oven to 400°. Half the tomatoes then add to a small baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and minced thyme then toss to coat.

Nestle the coat cheese into the middle of the tomatoes then bake 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is lightly browned and the tomatoes have wilted slightly and released their juices.

Blend the capers with the tomatoes and bake 2 more minutes then serve warm with sliced, lightly toasted baguette.

what to do with leftovers:

Did you happen to catch the viral TikTok Baked Feta Pasta? It was really similar to this appetizer – except it uses feta cheese instead of goat.

If you happen to have leftover Baked Tomato Goat Cheese Dip just blend with a little pasta for a delicious meal.
