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, ensuring it is centered and ready for toppings.
- Add the Fig Jam: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of fig jam generously over the top surface of the cheese, then spread it evenly to cover the entire top layer.
- Top with Pistachios: Evenly sprinkle 2 tablespoons of roughly chopped pistachios over the fig jam, adding texture and a nutty flavor contrast.
- Serve: Present immediately with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or sliced vegetables for dipping. Alternatively, chill the assembled appetizer in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours and bring to room temperature by letting it sit out for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Chilling the assembled appetizer enhances flavor melding but ensure to bring it to room temperature before serving for best taste and texture.
- Use fresh or toasted baguette slices for added crunch along with crackers or fresh veggies.
- For a variation, substitute pistachios with walnuts or pecans based on preference.
- Fig jam can be replaced with other fruit preserves such as apricot or raspberry for different flavor profiles.
