Whipped Boursin Dip with Marinated Tomatoes and Crispy Garlic
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.
If you love Boursin cheese, wait until you try it whipped into a light, creamy Boursin dip—it’s dreamy! I top it with juicy marinated tomatoes, crispy golden garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil, and suddenly, it becomes the star of any snack board or party spread.
I’ve made this whipped Boursin dip with marinated tomatoes and crispy garlic more times than I can count, and it’s always the first thing to disappear at the table. There’s something about the creamy, herby cheese base paired with juicy, sweet tomatoes and golden garlic that makes it completely irresistible.
The trick is in the layers—fluffy whipped Boursin, tangy marinated tomatoes, crunchy garlic chips, and that final drizzle of olive oil. It looks fancy, but it’s super easy to throw together and packs so much flavor in every bite.
And don’t even think about skipping the grilled sourdough! It’s the perfect vehicle for scooping, and that toasty, smoky flavor takes this appetizer totally over the top.
Make ahead tips
If you’re having friends over, it’s always nice to get some of the messy work out of the way before they arrive. You can easily make all three components ahead of time and then assemble right before serving.
Tomatoes: These can marinate for 2-3 hours.
Crispy garlic: Make this up to a day ahead and keep it on your counter. Or keep it in your fridge for up to 10 days.
Whipped Boursin: You can whip this a few days ahead and keep it in a covered container in your fridge.
I think this appy tastes best at room temperature, so make sure to take everything out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before assembling the platter.
How to store leftovers
In the highly unlikely event that you have leftovers, scoop them into a container, cover it, and keep them in your fridge. Eat them within 2 days.
