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, ensuring it is centered for easy spreading and presentation.
- Add fig jam: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of fig jam generously over the top of the cheese, spreading evenly to cover the surface and add a sweet contrast to the savory cheese.
- Sprinkle pistachios: Evenly sprinkle 2 tablespoons of roughly chopped pistachios over the fig jam layer, adding texture and a nutty flavor that complements the cheese.
- Serve: Serve immediately with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or sliced veggies. Optionally, you can chill the assembled appetizer for up to 4 hours before serving; if chilled, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Allowing the cheese to rest at room temperature before serving enhances its creamy texture.
- Chilling the assembled appetizer up to 4 hours makes it convenient for advance preparation.
- Use fresh, crunchy pistachios for the best contrast in texture.
- Fig jam varieties differ in sweetness; adjust quantity according to taste.
- Substitute figs with other fruit preserves such as apricot or raspberry if desired.
