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: Place the entire Boursin cheese wheel on a small serving plate as the base of your 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.
- Top with Pistachios: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of roughly chopped pistachios evenly over the fig jam layer to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
- Serve: Immediately serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or sliced vegetables. Alternatively, chill the assembled appetizer for up to 4 hours, then allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften the cheese and enhance flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute the pistachios with other nuts like walnuts or almonds if preferred.
- Fig jam can be replaced with other fruit preserves such as apricot or raspberry for variation.
- For best flavor, let the cheese sit at room temperature before assembling.
- Chilling the appetizer enhances the flavors but remember to let it warm slightly before serving.
