Main Ingredients
- 1 package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese (5.2 oz)
- 2–3 tablespoons fig jam
- 2 tablespoons pistachios, roughly chopped
- Crackers, sliced baguette, or veggies (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the cheese: Place the Boursin cheese wheel on a small serving plate to form the base of the appetizer.
- Add the fig jam: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of fig jam generously over the top of the cheese, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
- Sprinkle pistachios: Evenly sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios on top of the fig jam for a crunchy finish.
- Serve: Serve immediately alongside crackers, toasted baguette slices, or sliced vegetables. Optionally, chill the assembled appetizer for up to 4 hours before serving and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes prior to serving to enhance flavors.
Notes
- You can prepare this appetizer up to 4 hours in advance and chill it in the refrigerator.
- Letting the cheese sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving improves its creaminess and flavor.
- Choose a mild cracker or fresh vegetable slices to balance the strong garlic and herb flavor of the Boursin cheese.
- For added texture and color, you can substitute or mix in other nuts such as walnuts or almonds.
- This appetizer is vegetarian-friendly but contains dairy.
