- 200 g cream cheese at room temperature

Instructions
For the balsamic glaze
- Place the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan and let it boil until it starts to look syrupy and can coat the back of a spoon. Transfer it to a small bowl and let it cool down completely. Bear in mind that when it cools down it will thicken a lot more. If it's too thick when it cools down, you can always add a splash of boiling water and mix it in.
For the dip
- Whip the cream cheese and yoghurt until they come together and look creamy. Add the salt and pepper and incorporate.
For the toppings
- Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl.
For serving
- Spread the dip onto the base of the serving dish. Place the toppings over that layer. Add a few extra basil leaves on top for garnish.
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze.
