Goat cheese: Goat cheese helps mellow out the sharpness of Boursin cheese and the acidity of the tomatoes.
Grape or cherry tomatoes: Pop of freshness and color.
Garlic: Lots of fresh garlic! Avoid pre-minced garlic from jars if possible.
Fresh basil: I love the convenience of dried herbs but in recipes with few ingredients like this easy appetizer, try your best to use fresh basil.
