Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (5.2 ounce) container Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese, softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups Roma tomatoes, diced small
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced (chiffonade)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
- Assorted baguette slices, crackers, or vegetable sticks for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened Boursin cheese, softened cream cheese, sour cream, minced chives, and black pepper. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly into a serving dish. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the cheese chills, prepare the bruschetta topping. In a separate small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, sliced basil, minced garlic, and olive oil. Stir gently to coat.
- Let the tomato mixture sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes so the flavors develop. Drain off any excess liquid before topping the dip.
- Just before serving, spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the chilled cheese base.
- Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and balsamic glaze over the top of the tomatoes for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices or your favorite crackers.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil instead of fresh tomatoes, draining them well first.
- If you prefer a warm dip, you can bake the cheese base (without the topping) at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until slightly warmed through, then top and serve immediately.
- This dip tastes best when served at room temperature or slightly cool, not straight from the refrigerator.
