Make Ahead Ideas
This dish is perfect for making ahead if you want to prep it a few hours or even a few days ahead of time! Once you’ve poured your tomato mixture into your oven-safe dip dish and topped it with the goat cheese, you can cover it tightly with saran wrap and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days before cooking.
