Print Recipe [recipe_share_buttons]

Ingredients

For the whipped Boursin:
  • 1 (5.2 oz) round of Boursin ( I like garlic & herb)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (could also sub half & half or milk)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
For the marinated tomatoes:
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 tsp champagne vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
For serving:
  • freshly torn basil
  • balsamic glaze
  • flaky salt
  • toasted baguette slices, crostini or crackers

Method

  1. In a bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, grated garlic, champagne vinegar, kosher salt, and several cracks of black pepper. Toss to coat and let marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prep the whipped Boursin.
  2. Add the Boursin, cream cheese, heavy cream, lemon zest, and a few cracks of black pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Spread the whipped Boursin onto a serving platter or shallow bowl, creating swoops with the back of a spoon. Spoon the marinated tomatoes and all of their juices + olive oil over the top. Finish with torn basil, a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze, flaky salt, and a few more cracks of black pepper.
  4. Serve with toasted baguette slices, crostini, or your favorite crackers!!
