Ingredients
Cheese and Toppings
- 1 package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese (5.2 oz)
- 2–3 tablespoons fig jam
- 2 tablespoons pistachios, roughly chopped
Serving
- Crackers, sliced baguette, or veggies (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese: Place the entire wheel of Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese on a small serving plate to create a beautiful base for the toppings.
- Add the Fig Jam: Generously spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of fig jam over the top of the cheese, spreading it evenly to cover the surface for a sweet contrast.
- Top with Pistachios: Sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios evenly over the fig jam to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
- Serve: Serve the prepared cheese immediately with your choice of crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh sliced vegetables. Optionally, you can chill the assembled appetizer for up to 4 hours before serving and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute pistachios with other nuts like walnuts or almonds if preferred.
- If fig jam is unavailable, other fruity preserves such as apricot or raspberry jam can be used as a sweet alternative.
- Allowing the cheese to come to room temperature before assembling enhances the creaminess.
- This appetizer is best served fresh but can be prepped a few hours ahead to save time.
