Ingredients:
Italian Sausage Pesto Dip
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 oz basil pesto
- ½ tsp salt and pepper
- 1 lb Polidori Mild Italian Sausage Links remove casings
Bruschetta Topping
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Toasted baguette slices for serving
Directions:
- Start by removing the casing from the sausages and ground the sausage into tiny pieces on the stove. In a stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, pesto, salt, and pepper until well mixed, about 2 minutes on medium speed. On the lowest speed, gently add the Italian sausage in.
- In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the bruschetta topping. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the Italian Sausage Dip in an ovenproof serving container such as a cast-iron skillet or ceramic baking dish.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes to allow everything to heat up, but do not overbake or the pesto will break.
- To serve, sprinkle the bruschetta topping over the warm dip and serve with toasted baguette slices or crackers.
