Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 packages Boursin garlic herb cheese, softened (5.2 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 large tomatoes, diced and drained
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Toasted baguette slices or crackers for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened Boursin cheese, cream cheese, and mayonnaise. Mix until completely smooth and creamy. The mixture should be lump-free and easy to spread.
  2. Fold in the diced tomatoes, ensuring they're well-drained to prevent a watery dip. Add fresh basil, minced garlic, and half the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper, tasting as you go.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x8 baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe serving dish. Spread evenly and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan on top.
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the top turns light golden. The center should be hot throughout. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Assemble this dip in the morning and refrigerate, then bake when guests arrive. Ensure all dairy is at room temperature before mixing for smooth texture. Properly drain tomatoes to prevent watery dip. Don't skip draining the tomatoes and avoid overbaking to prevent cheese separation. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days and reheat gently in oven at 300°F.
