Boursin Bruschetta Appetizer Idea
Boursin Bruschetta is an easy appetizer idea that tops melted Boursin cheese with a garlicky tomato salad. Served with naan bread, this appetizer is a crowd-pleasing show-stopper!
Boursin cheese is one of the hostess secrets I love to share with people.
They make all kinds of flavors, and they’re the quick item you can store in your fridge and pull out to share with people when they pop by your home.
Whether served with crackers, a crusty baguette or stirred into marinara sauce, this little secret cheese is the way to people’s hearts!
This easy appetizer idea is one of my favorite things to serve people.
If you make the tomato salad ahead of time, this pre-dinner snack takes less than 10 minutes to put in the skillet, warm up, and serve!
How to Make Boursin Bruschetta
I like to serve this simple appetizer in a cast iron skillet, not only because it’s fun, but the skillet holds the heat; Keeping the Boursin cheese melty and perfect!
You’ll make up a delicious tomato salad, it’s my favorite item to keep in my fridge.
You can serve it as is on a toasty piece of bread. Or! I like to use on grilled chicken, tossed with fresh pasta, and all sorts of ways.
You’ll unwrap your Boursin cheese and plop it into the middle of the skillet.
Place baby naan bread around the cheese (Yes! You can use baguette slices, too!).
Pop the skillet into a 350 degree oven for 6-8 minutes. It doesn’t need a lot time!
Remove from the oven, spoon the tomato salad over the top, and finish with a drizzle of sticky balsamic glaze.
Serve to your people, and watch their eyes light up!
When to Serve Boursin Bruschetta
You’ve invited some friends over for dinner, and you’re thinking about what appetizer to serve.
This is the one they and you will love! Not only because it’s so easy to toss together, but it’s relatively light.
We’ve all been there when we go to someone’s house; they serve a giant cheeseboard, and you’re stuffed before dinner is served.
This is the snacky option to serve.
You can also change the flavors of this by using various options of the Boursin cheese.
I like to use Basil and Chive option or the Garlic and Herb flavors. It pairs so well with the tomato salad.
This is a fantastic option to bring to a friend’s house, too!
You don’t have to heat up the cheese, it eats just fine without the cheese being a little melty!
Making Tomato Salad for Bruschetta
I love a tomato salad for bruschetta!
I’ve perfected my recipe and it’s just sensational, if I do say so myself!
You can make this any time of year, even when tomatoes aren’t in season.
The capers, shallots, garlic, and red wine vinegar make this salad a bright, acidic accompaniment to anything you serve.
