Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 1 package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese (5.2 oz)
Toppings
- 2–3 tablespoons fig jam
- 2 tablespoons pistachios, roughly chopped
To Serve
- Crackers, sliced baguette, or veggies (as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese: Place the entire wheel of Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese on a small serving plate, ensuring it is easily accessible for guests.
- Add the Fig Jam: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of fig jam generously over the top of the cheese, spreading it evenly to create a sweet contrast to the creamy cheese.
- Top with Pistachios: Sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios uniformly over the fig jam to add a crunch and nutty flavor.

Alternatively, you may chill the appetizer in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving, then allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to enhance the flavors before offering to guests.
Notes
- Chilling the appetizer before serving enhances flavor melding but should be brought to room temperature for best taste.
- Use a variety of crackers or veggies for an appealing presentation and diverse texture.
- Adjust the amount of fig jam based on your preference for sweetness.
- For added elegance, garnish with a few whole pistachios or fresh herbs like thyme.
