Description

This elegant appetizer features creamy Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese topped with sweet fig jam and crunchy pistachios. Served with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh veggies, it’s a quick and impressive snack perfect for entertaining or casual gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Prepare the cheese base: Place the Boursin cheese wheel on a small serving plate, creating the foundation for your appetizer.
  2. Add fig jam: Spoon the fig jam generously over the top of the cheese, spreading it evenly to create a sweet layer that complements the herbaceous cheese.
  3. Top with pistachios: Evenly sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios over the fig jam, adding a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately alongside crackers, toasted baguette slices, or sliced veggies. For best flavor, you can chill the assembled appetizer for up to 4 hours before serving, then let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften and enhance flavors.

Notes

  • Use a small plate or shallow dish to present this appetizer for easy access.
  • Chilling the assembled appetizer allows flavors to meld, but always bring it to room temperature before serving.
  • Substitute pistachios with other nuts like walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • Pair with your choice of crackers or fresh vegetables for a gluten-free option using veggies.
