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, creating a soft, flavorful base for the toppings.
- Add fig jam: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of fig jam generously over the top of the cheese, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface for a perfect balance of sweetness.
- Sprinkle pistachios: Evenly distribute the roughly chopped pistachios over the fig jam to add a pleasing crunch and nutty flavor contrast.
- Serve: Serve the assembled appetizer immediately with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or sliced fresh vegetables. Alternatively, chill the appetizer for up to 4 hours before serving and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Chilling the assembled appetizer enhances the flavors but let it come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
- You can substitute the fig jam with other fruit preserves like apricot or raspberry for different flavor profiles.
- Toasting the baguette slices adds an additional layer of texture and flavor.
- This appetizer is best served fresh but can be prepared a few hours ahead for convenience.
