Ingredients

• 1 pint grape tomatoes, tomatoes cut in half
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/2 (12 ounces) blocks cream cheese, softened
• 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, freshly grated
• 8 ounces provolone cheese, freshly grated
• 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese + more for garnish
• 4 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
• 1/4 cup freshly chopped basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons freshly chopped thyme leaves
• 1/2 tablespoon freshly chopped oregano leaves

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil then place tomatoes on top. Sprinkle with olive oil and salt, then roast for 20-25 minutes, until bursting. Set aside.

2. While tomatoes are roasting, mix softened cream cheese with about 7 ounces each of provolone and mozzarella, then and parmesan. Stir in fresh herbs, garlic and roasted tomatoes, mixing well to combine. Transfer mixture to an oven-safe baking dish (mine was 6 × 4 round). Sprinkle with remaining provolone and mozzarella. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until top is golden and bubbly. Serve immediately with crackers, chip or toasted bread.
