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.
