Ingredients
10.4 ounces Garlic & Fine Herbs Boursin cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
1 baguette, sliced into thin rounds
2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil for crostini
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
2. Add Boursin cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to a mixing bowl.
3. Stir until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly combined.
4. Spoon the cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
5. Drizzle olive oil over the dip and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until hot and lightly golden around the edges.
6. While the dip bakes, arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with melted butter or olive oil.
7. Toast the baguette slices for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping once, until crisp and golden.
8. Remove the dip from the oven and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
9. Garnish with parsley, thyme, and an extra drizzle of olive oil.
10. Serve warm with the crostini.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese so the dip mixes smoothly without lumps.
Do not overbake the dip; it should be warm, creamy, and lightly golden around the edges.
Toast the crostini shortly before serving so they stay crisp and sturdy for dipping.
