Baked Boursin Dip is an effortless, crowd-pleasing appetizer that combines creamy, melty Boursin cheese with roasted cherry tomatoes, garlic, and red onion. It comes together quickly, uses a handful of ingredients, and is perfect for holiday gatherings, game days, or casual get-togethers.
This dip is luxurious and simple: soft Boursin rounds bake until gooey while tomatoes roast down and mingle with garlic and onion for a bright, savory sauce. The result is a rich, spreadable dip that pairs beautifully with crostini, crackers, or sliced baguette.
The idea is similar to the viral baked Boursin pasta trend, but kept as a dip so you can serve it as an appetizer. It’s also highly adaptable — add spinach, cooked chicken, or lump crab to make it heartier, or keep it vegetarian for a light, flavorful starter.

Ingredient Notes for Baked Boursin Dip
BOURSIN CHEESE: Boursin is a soft, spreadable French cheese similar in texture to cream cheese. Popular flavors include Garlic & Herb or Shallot & Chive. You can find Boursin rounds in the deli or specialty cheese section of most grocery stores.
TOMATOES: Use cherry tomatoes for convenience and sweetness, about 1 pint (roughly 1.5 cups). If using a larger tomato, chop it and measure approximately the same volume.
RED ONION: Use about 1/4 cup diced red onion. White or yellow onion also work, or omit if you prefer a milder dip.
GARLIC: Two cloves of diced garlic add bright, savory depth — don’t skip it unless you’re avoiding garlic.
EVOO: Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the tomatoes and cheese before baking. Avocado oil can be used as a substitute.
SALT & PEPPER: Season generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Add red pepper flakes for heat if desired.
Baked Boursin Dip
Assemble the dip in an oven-safe dish: place the cherry tomatoes, create a small well in the center for the unwrapped Boursin round, scatter the diced garlic and onion, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30–35 minutes, until the tomatoes have burst and the cheese is warm and melty.
Remove the dish from the oven (it will be hot). Use the back of a fork to mash the roasted tomatoes and stir the softened Boursin until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Serve immediately with crostini, toasted baguette slices, or your favorite dippers.
This dip is rich, tangy, and deeply satisfying. If you want to vary it, fold in cooked, diced chicken or lump crab for protein, or stir in chopped spinach for a green boost. It’s versatile and forgiving, making it a great recipe to customize.
