Baked Cheese Spread

Ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 12 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 cups minced fresh basil
• 3 ounces green onions, chopped
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 (16 ounce) loaf garlic sourdough bread, sliced in half lengthwise

Directions

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Place cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir mozzarella cheese and mayonnaise into cream cheese; heat in microwave until mozzarella cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.

Stir basil, green onions, tomato, and garlic into cheese mixture; spread onto sourdough bread slices. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet.

Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown and bubbling, 3 to 10 minutes. Cool for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.
