What You Need for Roasted Garlic Baked Boursin Dip
Boursin cheese lends a creamy, indulgent texture and a savory, herby taste. It’s what gives this dip its creamy texture!
Garlic infuses the dip with a rich, aromatic flavor when roasted.
Olive oil adds richness and helps roast the garlic and tomatoes to perfection.
Cherry tomatoes burst with juicy sweetness, adding a fresh element to the dip.
Tomato paste provides depth of flavor and enhances the savory notes of the dish.
Diced white onion adds a subtle sweetness and texture to the dip.
Red pepper flakes bring a touch of heat to the finished dip.
Fresh chives add a pop of color and a mild onion flavor, making it a perfect garnish for this dip.
Easy Variations & Substitutions
Boursin cheese: We used garlic and chive Boursin cheese, but any flavor will work.
Using another variety of cheese: You can replace the Boursin with goat cheese logs if necessary.
Cherry tomatoes: We love the flavor and size of cherry tomatoes, but any variety of tomato will work as long as they’re cut to a similar size as cherry tomatoes for roasting.
Onion: White onion adds a subtle flavor that we love, but yellow onion or shallot will also work.
Amp up the spice: Double the red pepper flakes to give this dip a little extra heat.

Ingredients

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Add the olive oil and tomato paste into an 8×8-inch baking dish and whisk the ingredients together. Trim the tip of the head of garlic so the cloves remain intact. Add the onion, salt, pepper, tomatoes, and garlic to the dish and toss all of the ingredients together until coated.
- Nestle two Boursin pucks into the tomatoes and cover. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese browns and the tomatoes have burst.
- Remove the dip and carefully squeeze the garlic cloves out of the head. Use a fork to mash the garlic cloves and tomatoes. Then, stir everything together.
- Drizzle the top with a little olive oil and season with fresh chives and red pepper flakes. Serve with crostini, crackers, or vegetables.

As expected, this dip was the MVA (most valuable appetizer) of our Super Bowl party. From kick off to the day after arm chair quarterbacking, everyone kept asking for the recipe. I served this with the regular starting line up of crostini and chips but this dip is also delicious with special teams, carrots and celery. I followed the recipe play by play and wouldn’t change a thing. Give this dip the Lombardi trophy!
