This Boursin and Roasted Tomato Dip might be the easiest appetizer I’ve ever made, and I don’t say that lightly. It’ll quickly earn a permanent spot in your rotation after the very first time you make it. Everything goes into one baking dish, the oven does its thing for about 30 minutes, and what comes out is this warm, bubbling, creamy dip that people absolutely cannot stop eating. As simple as it is, it’s really, really good.
This is my go-to when I’m hosting and don’t want to spend the whole day in the kitchen. It comes together with barely any prep, the ingredient list is short, and it pairs well with pretty much anything you want to serve alongside it—baguette, crackers, crudités, whatever you have. If you’re a Boursin fan, you’ll also want to try my Boursin and Roasted Veggie Spread and my Boursin Spinach and Sun-dried Tomato Orzo Bake.
😍 Why You’ll Love This Boursin and Roasted Tomato Dip
Basically two ingredients: cherry tomatoes and Boursin are all you really need — the garlic and olive oil are pantry staples you likely already have.
The oven does everything: toss it in, walk away, and come back to something delicious.
Incredibly creamy without any cream: the Boursin melts into the burst tomato juices and creates the most luscious, velvety dip all on its own.
Goes with everything: baguette, crackers, pita chips, vegetables — it honestly doesn’t matter.
🍅 Ingredients You’ll Need To Make This Boursin and Roasted Tomato Dip
Boursin cheese: garlic and fine herbs is the classic choice here. Want an even creamier, more indulgent dip? Go ahead and use two wheels.
Cherry tomatoes: they roast down, burst open, and release all their sweet, jammy juices right into the cheese.
Garlic: minced and scattered around the dish so it mellows and sweetens as it bakes.
Olive oil: just a drizzle to help everything roast and get a little caramelized around the edges.
Salt and pepper: keep in mind Boursin already brings a good amount of flavour on its own.
Fresh basil: optional, but a few torn leaves on top right before serving adds a little brightness and makes the whole dish look beautiful.
Baguette or crackers: a crusty baguette is my personal favourite here, but crackers work just as well.
✔ How To Make This Boursin and Roasted Tomato Dip
Preheat your oven to 425 °F. To an oven safe baking dish, add the Boursin to the middle, surrounded by the cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, just until the tomatoes begin to burst open and the dip bubbles.
🤝 Sammy’s Tip for This Boursin Dip
- Halfway through cooking, use a fork and press down a few of the tomatoes to release their juices.
Remove from the oven, mix to combine and top with fresh basil. Enjoy right away!
🗒 Variations
Double the Boursin: if you want a dip that’s extra creamy and rich, use two wheels instead of one.
Add a little heat: a pinch of red pepper flakes scattered over the top before it goes in the oven gives the whole thing a subtle kick that plays really well with the sweetness of the roasted tomatoes.
🗒 Substitutions
Boursin flavour: garlic and fine herbs is the go-to, but shallot and chive is a great swap and the flavour profiles are similar enough.
Tomatoes: grape tomatoes work just as well—just make sure they’re small enough to burst and get jammy in the oven.
Fresh basil: flat-leaf parsley or fresh oregano also make great finishing herbs if basil isn’t on hand.
🍴 Leftovers? Lucky you.
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. And if you happen to have any left the next day, toss it with pasta—a reader tip that is absolutely not going unmentioned.
🤔 FAQ’S
Can I make this ahead of time?
This dip is really best served straight out of the oven while everything is still warm and bubbling, so I wouldn’t recommend baking it too far in advance. That said, you can absolutely prep the baking dish ahead of time. Just add all the ingredients, cover it, and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
What kind of Boursin should I use?
Garlic and fine herbs is the classic choice and what I almost always reach for, but honestly any flavour works here. The shallot and chive variety is a great alternative.
Can I use a different type of tomato?
Cherry tomatoes are ideal because they’re small enough to burst and get jammy in the oven, but grape tomatoes work too. I’d avoid larger tomatoes here. They tend to release too much water and can make the dip a little watery rather than thick and saucy.
What do I serve this with?
A crusty baguette is my personal go-to because it holds up well for scooping, but crackers, pita chips, or even crostini all work beautifully. Vegetables like sliced cucumber or bell pepper are great too if you want to keep it a little lighter.
Can I add anything extra to this?
Of course! A pinch of red pepper flakes before baking adds a kick, fresh thyme tucked in with the tomatoes is nice, and a drizzle of good olive oil or a little balsamic glaze on top is great too.

I pulled this from the oven, sat it on the counter, turned around, and kitchen was filled with snackers!
I heard it was delicious and our guests will never know what they missed!
Hi Mary Lou – yay! So happy you (well all the snackers) enjoyed this one! – Sammy
Simply delicious and super easy. Vary it with any of the Boursin flavors. Recommend serving with thinly sliced baguette to sop up all the cheesy goodness!
Easy and yummy.
