Ingredients
Bruschetta Mixture
- 5 Medium Tomatoes, washed, seeded, and diced
- 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Basil, shredded
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Balsamic Glaze
Main
- 2 (5.3 oz) Containers Boursin Cheese Garlic and Herb
- Bagel Chips, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the tomatoes: Wash and dry the tomatoes thoroughly. Remove the seeds to avoid excess moisture and dice them into small, uniform pieces for an even texture. Place the diced tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix in aromatics and seasonings: Add the minced garlic and shredded fresh basil to the bowl with tomatoes. Pour in the olive oil and balsamic glaze. Season with salt and pepper according to taste, then stir everything thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and flavorful.
- Assemble the dip: Take a pie plate or shallow serving dish and add both containers of Boursin cheese. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the cheese into an even, flat layer covering the bottom of the dish.
- Add the bruschetta topping: Spoon the prepared tomato bruschetta mixture evenly over the flat layer of Boursin cheese, spreading it to cover the surface completely.
- Serve: Serve immediately with bagel chips or your favorite crackers. This dip is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the texture and vibrant flavors.
Notes
- Remove tomato seeds to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
- Use fresh basil for best flavor; dried basil does not provide the same freshness.
- Serve immediately to preserve the texture of the bruschetta topping and prevent the cheese from softening too much.
- For a twist, try adding finely chopped red onion or a splash of lemon juice to the bruschetta mixture.
- This dip pairs well with toasted baguette slices in addition to bagel chips.
