Ingredients

Here are the ingredients that you’ll need to make this delicious dip. You can find the full ingredients list along with measurements and instructions in the recipe card below.

Tomatoes- Fresh, juicy tomatoes are the heart of this dip. They bring a refreshing burst of acidity that balances the creamy Boursin cheese layer.
Fresh Basil- Adds a fresh, bright pop of color and classic Italian flavor.
Fresh Garlic- Brings a bold, savory kick. Fresh garlic is best here. Using a Garlic Press makes it a breeze.
Olive Oil- Adds richness and helps the flavors to blend together. Use a good quality olive oil like Graza.
Balsamic Glaze- Brings a sweet, tangy pop that brightens the tomatoes and balances the cheese.
Salt- Enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
Pepper- Adds a subtle heat that sharpens the flavors and keeps the dip from tasting flat.
Boursin Cheese Garlic & Herb- Creamy, rich and full of herb flavor. Its sold at most grocery stores but you can find it HERE also.

How To Make It

Here’s the step by step directions on how to make this dip along with some personal notes from me. You can find the full ingredients list along with instructions in the recipe card below.

First, wash and dry the tomatoes, remove the seeds and dice them into uniform, small pieces. Add them to a large bowl.

PRO TIP: Removing the seeds will help keep the dip from getting too watery. You can also pat them dry on a paper towel to remove even more moisture.

Now, add the minced garlic, shredded basil, olive oil and balsamic glaze. Season with salt, pepper and stir everything together until it’s evenly combined.

NOTE: You could add a little bit of minced onion here, too, if you’d like.

Then, in a pie plate, add the Boursin Cheese and smooth it out so that it’s flat and even. Then, spread the tomato bruschetta on top. Serve immediately with Bagel Chips and enjoy!

NOTE: A pie plate is perfect for this because the dish is large and shallow.

Can I Use Balsamic Vinegar Instead of Balsamic Glaze?

Yes, you can use balsamic vinegar, but it won’t be as thick or sweet as balsamic glaze. If you want that same syrupy finish, simmer balsamic vinegar in a small pan for 5–10 minutes or until it reduces and thickens. It gives you the same result without needing a store bought glaze.

What’s The Best Boursin Flavor To Use?

I prefer the Garlic & Fine Herbs and that’s what I used here but Shallot & Chive adds a nice mild onion flavor.

Can I Make This Ahead Of Time?

You can, but make the tomato bruschetta ahead then mix them s in right before serving so the dip doesn’t get watery in the fridge.

What Kind Of Tomatoes Are Best For Bruschetta?

Lots of tomatoes are great choices for this dip like Roma, cherry, or grape. They’re firmer, sweeter, and naturally less watery, so they hold up beautifully in a dip.

What Should I Serve With This Dip?

You can serve this dip with roasted baguette slices, crostini, pita chips, crackers, or even cucumber rounds work great here. My favorite choice here is Bagel Chips.

Storage

The storage of this dip can get a little tricky because the tomatoes will keep releasing water. You can put the dip into an air tight container and into for fridge for 24 hours. Just try strain out the excess water before serving. Truth be told, you ideally want to serve the dip and enjoy it right then and there for best results.
