What is Boursin cheese

Boursin cheese is a creamy, spreadable cheese that originated in France. It is known for its rich and flavorful taste, which is often enhanced with various herbs and spices.

The smooth and velvety texture makes it perfect for spreading on crackers, bread, or vegetables. Boursin cheese is popular as a versatile ingredient in recipes or as a standalone appetizer or snack.

The Boursin cheese I used for this recipe blends cream cheese, garlic, and herbs. Boursin can be found at your local grocery store, but I get the best deal when purchasing from Cosco.

FAQs

How to store boursin dip

Fridge: Allow the dip to cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container or tightly sealed dish. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Reheating: There are a couple methods you can use to reheat the dip:

• Microwave: Transfer a portion of the dip to a microwave-safe dish and heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it’s heated through.
• Stovetop: For larger portions, reheat the dip on the stovetop. Transfer it to a saucepan and heat it over low to medium heat, stirring frequently, until it’s warmed to your liking.

Freezer: I do not recommend freezing the dip.

Make ahead: If you want to make the dip ahead of time, you can assemble everything, place it in the fridge overnight, and bake the next day.

How to serve boursin dip

My favorite way to serve this dip is with baguette bread. I toast it with a little olive oil and garlic powder. You can also grab your favorite cracker, pita chips, or any bread you have on hand.

What about using this Cheesy Garlic Bread for an over-the-top cheesy mouthful experience? So many possibilities!

This easy appetizer recipe goes well with Mini Stuffed Peppers, Pigs in a Blanket, or Chicken Wings.

Tips

Make sure to pack the spinach tight, as it cooks down quite a bit.

Don’t forgo the fresh basil and red pepper flakes. These ingredients are key to this dip’s superb flavor.

Watch the dip as it cooks. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the cherry tomatoes.

Lightly spray your casserole dish with cooking spray, so clean up is a little easier.

Make sure to garnish with fresh herbs for the best flavor.
