Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces Boursin cheese or plain cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh Roma tomatoes, diced small
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Balsamic glaze for drizzling
- For serving: Pita chips, crackers, or baguette slices
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened Boursin cheese or cream cheese with the minced garlic. Mix until smooth.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to coat the tomatoes and basil.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly into a serving dish.
- Spoon the tomato and basil mixture over the cheese layer.
- If using, drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the top for presentation.
- Serve the Creamy Bruschetta Dip immediately with your preferred dippers. You can chill this dip for up to 2 hours before serving if needed.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese instead of Boursin.
- If you use plain cream cheese, add 1/2 teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning to the cheese base for more flavor.
- Prepare the tomato topping up to 4 hours ahead of time; drain off any excess liquid before spooning over the cheese layer.
