A white round dish with small handles holds a two-layer dip: the bottom layer is smooth and white, likely cream cheese or a similar spread, while the top layer is a colorful mix of finely chopped red tomatoes and green leafy basil, drizzled with a dark balsamic glaze. Surrounding the dish are several slices of light golden baguette bread arranged casually on a white marbled surface, with a white bowl to the side showing thick tomato slices and a striped cloth nearby. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 container Boursin Cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup basil, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Baguette, sliced

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Spread the Boursin cheese evenly in a small serving dish or shallow bowl.
  2. Step 2: In a separate small bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, chopped basil, crushed garlic, olive oil, balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper. Toss well to mix.
  3. Step 3: You may use the tomato mixture immediately or let it sit overnight to allow the flavors to blend.
  4. Step 4: Just before serving, spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the Boursin cheese.
  5. Step 5: Serve the dip with sliced baguette, club crackers, or fresh sliced vegetables for dipping.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, drizzle a little more balsamic glaze on top just before serving.
  • Try adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture for a subtle kick.
  • Swap the basil with fresh oregano or parsley if preferred.
  • Use multigrain or sourdough baguette slices for a different texture and taste.

Storage

Store any leftover tomato mixture and Boursin cheese separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Combine and serve fresh when ready. The dip is best enjoyed fresh and may lose texture if refrigerated after assembling. If needed, bring to room temperature before serving.
