Ingredients for the Warm Boursin Dip with Crostini

Boursin Cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs) – The star of the recipe, providing creamy texture and herbaceous flavor.
Cream Cheese – Adds body and helps mellow the boldness of the Boursin.
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – For that ooey-gooey, melty texture that everyone loves in a warm dip.

Olive Oil – Used to drizzle over the top before baking for a golden, rich finish.
Fresh Parsley (optional) – A touch of fresh green for garnish, offering a pop of color and brightness.
Paprika or Cracked Black Pepper (optional) – Adds a little extra visual flair and flavor punch.

Baguette or French Bread – Thinly sliced to create crostini that pairs perfectly with the dip.

How To Make the Warm Boursin Dip with Crostini

Step 1: Prep the Dip Base

In a mixing bowl, combine the Boursin cheese and cream cheese. Blend until smooth and well combined. If desired, fold in a handful of shredded mozzarella for extra creaminess.

Step 2: Transfer to Bake

Spoon the mixture into an oven-safe ramekin or small baking dish. Smooth the top and drizzle with a bit of olive oil.

Step 3: Bake Until Golden

Bake the dip in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, or until bubbling and lightly golden on top.

Step 4: Garnish with Herbs & Spices

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and a dash of paprika or cracked pepper just before serving.

Step 5: Make the Crostini

While the dip bakes, slice your baguette into 1/2-inch pieces. Arrange on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and toast at 375°F for 6-8 minutes until golden and crisp.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

Serve the warm dip with fresh crostini on the side. It’s best enjoyed straight out of the oven while still bubbly and hot.

Serving and Storing Your Warm Boursin Dip with Crostini

This dip is best served hot, straight out of the oven, with the crostini freshly toasted and arranged around the ramekin. It pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine or even a bubbly prosecco for added flair. If you’re making it ahead for a party, assemble the dip in your baking dish and refrigerate it—then bake just before serving.

If you have leftovers, allow the dip to cool completely. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave it in 20-second intervals or bake again at 350°F until warm. For crostini, refresh in a toaster oven or quickly re-toast under a broiler.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Boursin cheese?

Boursin is a soft, creamy cheese flavored with garlic and herbs. It’s known for its spreadable texture and savory, rich taste.

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prep the dip mixture a day ahead and refrigerate it. Just bake right before you’re ready to serve.
