Creamy, herby Boursin cheese melts into a warm, velvety spread, perfect for smearing on crisp crostini.

What Kind of Boursin Should I Use?

The classic Garlic & Fine Herbs Boursin is a favorite for this recipe thanks to its creamy texture and bold flavor. However, if you’re feeling adventurous, the Shallot & Chive or even the Pepper variety can give your dip a fun twist. Just make sure to choose a flavor that complements your desired vibe—bold, mellow, or somewhere in between.

Ingredients for the Warm Boursin Dip with Crostini

1 package (5.2 oz) Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 baguette, sliced into thin rounds
2 tbsp olive oil (for crostini)
Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, thyme, or chives)

How To Make the Warm Boursin Dip with Crostini

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the baguette slices in a single layer. Brush each side with olive oil.

Step 2: Toast the Crostini

Bake the baguette slices for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3: Make the Dip

In a medium bowl, mix the Boursin cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream until smooth. Stir in olive oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 4: Bake the Dip

Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until hot and bubbling around the edges.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve warm with your homemade crostini.

Serving and Storing Your Warm Boursin Dip

This dip is best served straight from the oven while it’s gooey and warm. Pair it with crostini, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks for a balanced spread. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
