Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounces Boursin cheese or soft goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups Roma tomatoes, diced small
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Boursin or goat cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Spread the cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of a serving dish or pie plate. This forms the creamy base layer.
  3. In a separate small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and dried oregano. Stir gently to coat the tomatoes.
  4. Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
  5. If desired, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  6. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve cold with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or pita chips.

Notes

  • For a baked version, omit the chilling time. Top with mozzarella and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • You can prepare the tomato topping up to 4 hours ahead of time.
  • Use high-quality, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor in this Italian appetizer recipe.
