Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 round Boursin Cheese (any flavor)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes (around 1.5 cups)
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, diced
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400℉ (204℃) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the tomatoes and baking the cheese.
- Prepare the baking dish: Pour the cherry tomatoes into a baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spread out to roast properly.
- Place the Boursin cheese: Create a space in the center of the tomatoes and place your unwrapped Boursin cheese round there.
- Add aromatics: Sprinkle the diced red onion and garlic around the cheese and tomatoes in the dish.
- Season and oil: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the tomatoes, cheese, onions, and garlic. Generously season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Bake the dip: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and the cheese is warm and slightly melted.
- Combine and mash: Remove the dish from the oven and use the back of a fork to mash the tomatoes and stir them together with the softened Boursin cheese until well combined and creamy.
- Serve: Enjoy your baked Boursin dip immediately, ideally with crostini, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
