Instructions

Core and dice the Roma tomatoes into small cubes.
In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Toss to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the cheese mixture: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Puree for 3-4 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
Scoop the cheese mixture onto a shallow serving plate or bowl.
Top with the prepared bruschetta mixture.
Garnish with red pepper flakes, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and additional chopped basil.
Serve with crackers, pita chips, or toasted bread.

Notes

Allow the bruschetta mixture to marinate for 10 minutes to enhance the flavor.
If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, add an additional garlic clove to the cheese mixture.
You can make the cheese mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to serve.
