Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounces Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
  • Baguette slices or crackers, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinated tomatoes: In a medium bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, chopped basil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Let this mixture sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
  2. Prepare the cheese base: In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Boursin cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Assemble the dip: Spread the cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of a shallow serving dish.
  4. Drain excess liquid from the marinated tomatoes. Spoon the marinated tomato mixture over the cheese layer.
  5. Drizzle the top generously with balsamic glaze.
  6. Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices or crackers.

Notes

  • You can prepare the cheese base and the tomato topping separately up to 24 hours in advance. Keep them refrigerated and assemble just before serving.
  • For a warmer presentation, you can lightly toast the baguette slices before serving.
  • If you do not have Boursin, substitute with an additional 4 ounces of cream cheese mixed with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano.
