Strawberry Bruschetta Whipped Boursin & Crémant Rosé
Whipped cheese and bubbles. Can it get any better?
The actual words that came out of my mouth after trying this: “WHAT in the world did I just make.” Pure shock at how delicious it was. And combined with the perfect sparkling rosé, and fresh homemade sourdough?! TOO GOOD.
This was only my second attempt, and I did not expect it to be as, dare I say, freaking perfect as it was. Here’s a pic (you’re welcome):
OK twist my arm, here’s another one:
And yes - I’m a bit delayed with this post today because of my new sourdough hyperfocus. So we’re keeping this one short and sweet!
The Wine
Cave de Lugny Crémant de Bourgogne Rosé. I love everything about this bottle of bubs and I know you will too! Fine bubbles, fresh red fruit and citrus with some toasty notes, aromas just bursting out of the glass. And the colour/label are stunning!! This is not my first time having this one and I can guarantee it won’t be my last.
It’s in my storefront for $29.99 CAD for a limited time!

Directions
Add all bruschetta ingredients to a mixing bowl and toss to combine. Taste and adjust ingredients as desired.
Let bruschetta sit in the bowl for at least 30 minutes for juices to separate.
Whip together Boursin cheese and sour cream. Spoon and spread whipped cheese into a flat bottomed serving bowl.
Using a slotted spoon to leave the liquid behind, spoon bruschetta onto the whipped cheese.
Add toppings of choice, and enjoy with fresh sourdough and a big ol’ chilled glass of sparkling rosé!
