Each time I make this dip, it’s gone within minutes and everyone is left asking me how to make it. When I continue to tell my inquirers that it’s almost a no-recipe-recipe, their eyes broaden and jaws drop. They dip another cracker into the excellent stuff (if there’s still any left) in shock.
The Secret To My Recipe
I dislike to confess that my recipe truly needs cherry tomatoes, Boursin cheese, and a little oven time. That’s it.
It’s A Great Last-Minute Option
Sometimes the idea of making an appetizer (on top of whatever else) makes amusing feel difficult, however felt confident, this one is a breeze. While it might not look all that impressive (it’s an admittedly messy dip), it sure tastes impressive thanks to the herb-filled cheese that packs it with flavor. Most importantly, it’s prepared in under 30 minutes and only needs a few minutes of hands-on time, so you can better invest your time party-prepping or checking off your perpetual order of business.
It’s Simple To Make
I need to confess– each time I make this meal, it’s more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants situation than an actual dish, however that’s the charm of its simplicity! If you’re a few tomatoes brief or maybe missing out on a bite from the hunk of cheese, not to stress.
It’s Delicious Anytime of Year
The “dish” for this crowd-favorite dip is a little rough around the edges. And while I’m typically one to (mostly) save my tomato consumption for those juicy, in-season summertime charms, this is an exception I’m more than delighted to make.
How To Make This Recipe
The Recipe
Cherry tomatoes (about 2 cups sliced).
One block of Boursin cheese– you can use whatever flavor you prefer, but I stick with the traditional garlic & fine herbs.
Drizzle of olive oil.
Pinch of salt and pepper.
The Directions:.
Start by pre-heating your oven to 375 degrees and cutting your cherry tomatoes in half.
Once sliced, dump the tomatoes in a shallow baking meal– anything works, but I usually use a small glass brownie pan or casserole meal; and after that toss them with a dash of olive oil and pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast them in the oven for about 20 minutes or until they’re blistered and juicy.
Remove the meal from the oven and add your block of Boursin.
Using a spoon, divide the cheese into smaller sections and stir the 2 together (the cheese does not require to be completely blended in).
Location the dish back in the oven for about 5 minutes till the cheese is melty.
Take it out of the oven and give the ingredients a last stir to combine the cheese and tomatoes into one creamy dip.
