Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 ounces Boursin cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chopped Roma tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 baguette, sliced and toasted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie dish or small oven-safe skillet.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Boursin cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the dip is heated through.
While the dip bakes, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, gently toss the chopped tomatoes, chopped basil, and olive oil.
Remove the dip from the oven. Spoon the fresh tomato and basil mixture over the hot cheese dip.
Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices or crackers.
Notes
For a quicker, no-bake version, skip steps 1, 3, and 4. Simply mix the base ingredients and top with the fresh tomato mixture.
You can substitute goat cheese or mozzarella for the Boursin cheese if desired.
Drain the chopped tomatoes well to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
