There is just something about warm, jammy roasted tomatoes and creamy Boursin that feels effortless but impressive. This is the appetizer I make when I want something that looks beautiful on a platter but takes almost no time to throw together.
The tomatoes roast down with garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs until they’re soft and bursting. Then they’re spooned right over a thick layer of room-temperature Boursin and finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Serve it with toasted baguette slices and watch it disappear.
It’s perfect for girls’ night, holiday gatherings, or a slow Sunday afternoon snack.
