Boursin Marinara Dip
This Boursin Marinara Dip is my go-to when I want something crowd-pleasing without any effort. It’s creamy, tangy, herby, and absolutely perfect for scooping with hunks of crusty bread

Notes
For a large crowd, I’ll make this in a shallow bowl about 12″ wide, using a full24-ounce jar of marinara sauce. I’ll use TWO wheels of Boursin cheese. I personally prefer using the Basil & Chive AND the Shallot & Chive flavors for the “big” version of this easy appetizer.
For the smaller version, I used the 7.5″ by 6″ Staub baking dish. That holds a 12.3 ounce jar of pizza sauce, and one wheel of Boursin cheese.
