Why You’ll Love This
- Just three ingredients make for the ultimate quick and easy appetizer.
- Lusciously creamy texture and savory flavor from Boursin cheese.
- Ready in only 5 minutes—perfect for spontaneous gatherings.
- Versatile dip that pairs with veggies, crackers, or pita chips.
- Minimal cleanup required, so you can spend more time enjoying!
Ingredients
- 1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream (full-fat preferred for best texture)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Directions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Set out the Boursin cheese for about 10 minutes so it softens slightly. This makes mixing easier and ensures a super smooth dip.
Step 2: Combine in a Bowl
In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened Boursin cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Using a silicone spatula or a spoon, stir until the mixture is creamy and fully combined. Make sure there are no large cheese lumps; a hand mixer on low can help if you want an ultra-smooth texture.
Step 3: Chill and Serve
For best results, cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for 30 minutes before serving. This step lets the flavors meld beautifully. If you’re short on time, it’s delicious straight from the bowl!
Notes
- Bring Boursin to room temp for easiest mixing and creamiest dip.
- Use full-fat sour cream and mayo for a richer texture and flavor.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if you want extra brightness.
Variations
- Spicy Boursin Dip: Stir in 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or hot sauce.
- Herb Lovers: Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives or parsley.
