Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packages (5.3 oz each) Boursin cheese
- 1–1/2 cups chopped de-seeded tomatoes
- 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- Allow the Boursin cheese packages to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, chopped basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix well and let sit for 5 minutes to draw out tomato juices.
- Transfer the softened Boursin cheese to an 8-9 inch shallow serving dish and spread it into an even layer using the back of a spoon.
- Spoon the bruschetta mixture over the Boursin, ensuring to reserve the juices at the bottom of the mixing bowl.
- Drizzle balsamic reduction over the dip and garnish with additional fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately with crackers or crostini.
Notes
For best flavor, let the Boursin cheese soften adequately before use.
This dip is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
Pair with a variety of crackers or toasted crostini for a delightful crunch.
