Ingredients You’ll Need

2 packages (5.3 oz each) Boursin: Look for the classic herb flavor for the best results, but feel free to try different varieties.
1-1/2 cups chopped de-seeded tomatoes: Vine-ripened or Roma tomatoes are recommended for their sweetness and texture. Make sure to remove the seeds to keep the dip from becoming watery.
1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves, chopped: Fresh basil adds a fragrant, aromatic element—don’t skimp!
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil: A drizzle enhances the richness of the dip and brings the flavors together.
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar: This adds a touch of acidity that balances the creaminess of the cheese beautifully.
1 clove garlic, pressed: Fresh garlic provides a robust flavor. Use less if you prefer a milder taste.
Salt and pepper: Essential for seasoning and enhancing the overall flavor.
Balsamic reduction (Alessi brand recommended): A finishing touch that adds sweetness and depth.
Crackers or crostini: These are perfect for scooping this dip up! You can also make your own crostini if you’re feeling adventurous.

How to Make Easy Boursin Bruschetta Dip

Soften the Boursin: Let the two packages of Boursin sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. This will make spreading it much easier!
Prepare the Tomato Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups chopped de-seeded tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, and 1 clove pressed garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then gently stir to combine. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld and the salt draw some juices from the tomatoes.
Assemble the Dip: Spread the softened Boursin evenly into an 8-9 inch shallow serving dish or pie pan, using the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
Add the Tomato Topping: Spoon the tomato mixture over the top of the Boursin, leaving behind any juices in the mixing bowl (these can be used as a salad dressing on other dishes).
Finish with Balsamic: Drizzle a balsamic reduction over the top, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavor. Garnish with extra basil leaves for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately with your favorite crackers or crostini and enjoy!

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover Easy Boursin Bruschetta Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For optimal freshness, enjoy it at room temperature, but you can also serve it slightly warmed if you prefer. Freezing is not recommended, as the texture of the cheese may change. If you happen to have some leftovers, that rich flavor may lessen, but a quick stir before serving again can refresh it nicely.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the tomato mixture a few hours in advance and assemble the dip just before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully while keeping everything fresh.

What can I serve with this dip besides crackers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. However, it’s best enjoyed fresh on the same day, as the flavors meld and the texture remains at its prime.

Can I make this dip vegan?
