Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 1 package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese (5.2 oz)
Toppings
- 2–3 tablespoons fig jam
- 2 tablespoons pistachios, roughly chopped
Serving
- Crackers, sliced baguette, or veggies (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the cheese: Place the Boursin cheese wheel on a small serving plate, providing a creamy and flavorful base for the toppings.
- Add fig jam: Spoon the fig jam generously over the top of the cheese and spread it evenly to ensure every bite is sweet and luscious.
- Sprinkle pistachios: Evenly sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios over the fig jam to add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
- Serve: Serve the appetizer immediately with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or sliced veggies. For best flavor, optionally chill the assembled appetizer for up to 4 hours and bring to room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute pistachios with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
- Fig jam can be replaced with other fruit preserves like apricot or raspberry for variation.
- Allowing the cheese to sit at room temperature before serving enhances its creaminess and flavor.
- This appetizer pairs excellently with white wine or light red wines.
