Ingredients
- 2 150g packages Garlic & Fine Herbs Boursin Cheese - softened (remove from fridge 10 minutes before making the dip))
- 2 cups chopped tomatoes (Roma tomatoes or Cherry tomatoes)
- 3 tbsp thinly sliced fresh basil
- 2 small garlic cloves, thinly sliced or minced
- 2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- pinch chili flakes or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Remove the packages of Boursin Cheese from the fridge and set aside.
- To a medium-sized bowl add the chopped tomatoes, thinly sliced fresh basil, minced garlic, finely chopped red onion, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and a pinch of chili flakes. Use a spoon to mix well and set aside (leave for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together).
- While the tomato mixture is sitting, use a spoon to spread both packages of softened Boursin Cheese in a shallow / low bowl or even on a plate.
- After the tomato mixture has sat for 10 minutes, use a slotted spoon to spoon the mixture onto the softened boursin cheese. Important to use a slotted spoon as you want as little liquid from the tomato bowl to transfer to the boursin cheese.
- Garnish with more fresh basil and serve with toasted baguette (see how to make crostini below) or your favourite crackers.
Notes
- To make crostini (toasted baguette):
-
Preheat the oven to 400°Fahrenheit. Use a bread knife to slice a baguette into 1-inch thick slices, about 20-24 slices. Place the baguette slices on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush the bread slices with olive oil on one side and place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, then flip and bake for another 5 minutes until toasted. Set aside.
