My bruschetta dip is always a huge hit with family and friends. It has a creamy, flavorful base thats topped with all the fresh tomato goodness of a classic bruschetta.

As someone who loves a good dip, this bruschetta dip has quickly rose to the top of one of my favorites. It checks all of the boxes, creamy, full of flavor, and easy to scoop.

One thing that makes this dip so special is the contrast of textures and flavors. A cool, creamy base that is topped with juicy, bright tomatoes, and balsamic glaze. It’s everything you love about bruschetta in scoopable form.

The other great thing is that the dip is no bake making it easy to put together last minute. I like serving it with things like crostini, pita chips, crackers, or even vegetables. It’s a dip that can be served all year long at get togethers, parties, holidays, and more.

If you are wanting more cold dips be sure to try this hoagie dip, roasted red pepper dip, and Knorr spinach dip.

Ingredients

The fresh tomatoes and basil really add so much amazing flavor to this bruschetta dip with cream cheese recipe.

• Cream cheese: Softened cream cheese is used for the creamy base of the dip.
• Boursin cheese: Use your favorite Boursin cheese flavor. I like garlic and herb, shallot and chive, or basil and chive.
• Tomatoes: Diced tomatoes are used to top the dip. You can use cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, or Roma tomatoes.
• Basil: Fresh basil leaves give this dip so much fresh flavor.
• Garlic:
• Extra virgin olive oil: This is used in the cream cheese mixture and the tomato topping.
• Balsamic glaze: I prefer using a balsamic glaze because its a little thicker but you can substitute with regular balsamic vinegar.

How to make this bruschetta dip recipe

This dip recipe has two basic components, the creamy base and the tomato topping.

Heather’s recipe tips

• Soften the cream cheese and Boursin. Leave your cream cheese and Boursin out for a few minutes before blending to help the mixture get nice and creamy.
• Use fresh basil. I recommend using fresh basil for the best flavor.
• Top just before serving. If possible, I recommend spooning the tomato topping on the cream cheese base just before serving. This will help keep it fresh.

Variations

• Base substitutions: You can substitute the Boursin cheese with Feta cheese for a more tangy flavor. Another suggestions is to replace the cream cheese and Boursin with a base of hummus.
• Topping: Try adding mozzarella pearls or grated parmesan. A drizzle of pesto is also a wonderful addition.

Serving suggestions

I like serving bruschetta dip with things like toasted crostini, crackers, cut up vegetables, pita chips, and even potato chips.

Storage

Make ahead: If you would like to make this bruschetta dip with Boursin cheese ahead of time, I recommend storing the base and the tomato topping separately. This will help prevent the dip from getting to watery.

Store: Cover this dip or put in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Freeze: This dip does not freeze well.
