Scale
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 base: Place the Boursin cheese wheel on a small serving plate, ensuring it’s ready for topping.
- 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 2 tablespoons of roughly chopped pistachios over the layer of fig jam to add crunch and flavor.
- Serve or chill: Serve immediately alongside crackers, toasted baguette slices, or vegetables. Alternatively, chill the assembled appetizer in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours and then let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
Notes
- For best flavor, let the cheese sit at room temperature before assembling.
- Chilling the appetizer allows the fig jam to set slightly and pistachios to stay crunchy.
- This appetizer is versatile—feel free to swap pistachios for other nuts like walnuts or almonds.
- Serve with a variety of crackers or fresh vegetables for a colorful presentation.
