Easy Boursin Bruschetta Dip: Your New Favorite Appetizer!
Boursin bruschetta dip: whip up this irresistibly creamy and fresh appetizer in minutes. Perfect for entertaining or a quick, flavorful snack. Serve with crackers or crostini.
Ingredients
- 2 , 5.3 oz packages Boursin
- 1-1 /2 cups chopped de-seeded tomatoes (vine-ripened or Roma tomatoes recommended)
- 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves (chopped, plus more for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 clove garlic (pressed or very finely minced)
- salt and pepper
- balsamic reduction (Alessi brand recommended)
- crackers or crostini (see notes for recipe)
Instructions
- Let the Boursin packages sit on the counter for 15-20 minutes to soften slightly while you prepare the rest of the dish.
- To a small mixing bowl add the chopped tomatoes, basil, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper then stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes which will give the salt time to draw the juices out of the tomatoes.
- Add the slightly softened Boursin cheese to an 8-9" shallow serving dish or pie pan then use the back of a spoon to spread it into an even layer.
- Spoon the bruschetta mixture over the top, leaving all the juices in the bottom of the mixing bowl (drizzle the juices over lettuce or sliced cucumbers as a salad dressing).
- Drizzle the top of the dip with balsamic reduction then garnish with extra fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately with crackers or crostini and a spreading knife.
