Roasted Tomato and Boursin Crostini
Crispy crostini, slathered with creamy Boursin cheese, topped with jammy roasted tomatoes and fresh herbs. These roasted tomato and Boursin crostini are easy to make and so addictive!
I love this easy roasted tomato and Boursin crostini recipe so much that I’ve made them twice in three days. What’s not to love about crispy baguette slices topped with Boursin garlic & herb cheese and garlic-infused roasted tomatoes? These little beauties are also really delicious with toasted pine nuts on top. I served these Boursin crostini with a simple salad tossed in Fran’s vinaigrette.

They look absolutely mouthwatering! I love boursin 🙂
I would love this appetizer.
So simple and delicious
Do you think I could use some frozen cherry tomatoes and roast them? I know I’d need to drain them as they’d be watery.
Lori,
I’ve never tried it with frozen tomatoes, so I’m not sure how it would turn out. Please let us know how it goes if you try.
