Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packages (5.3 oz each) Boursin cheese
- 1–1/2 cups chopped de-seeded tomatoes (vine-ripened or roma recommended)

Instructions
- Allow the Boursin cheese packages to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper, stirring well. Let it sit for 5 minutes to draw out the tomato juices.
- Spread the softened Boursin cheese into an even layer in a shallow serving dish or pie pan.
