Main 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 wheel of Boursin cheese on a small serving plate, positioning it centrally for easy access.
- Add the Fig Jam: Using a spoon, generously spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of fig jam evenly over the top surface of the cheese, ensuring good coverage for flavor balance.
- Top with Pistachios: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of roughly chopped pistachios evenly over the fig jam to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor contrast.
- Serve: Present the assembled appetizer immediately alongside crackers, toasted baguette slices, or sliced fresh vegetables. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 4 hours, then let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to enhance flavor and softness.
Notes
- You can substitute pistachios with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
- If fig jam is not available, other fruit preserves like apricot or berry jam work well too.
- Allowing the cheese to slightly warm before serving softens it, improving spreadability.
- This appetizer pairs beautifully with a light white wine or sparkling beverage.
