Main Ingredients
- 1 package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese (5.2 oz)
- 2–3 tablespoons fig jam
- 2 tablespoons pistachios, roughly chopped
For Serving
- Crackers, sliced baguette, or veggies
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese: Place the Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese wheel on a small serving plate, ensuring it sits securely as the base of your appetizer.
- Add the Fig Jam: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of fig jam generously over the top of the cheese wheel, spreading it evenly to cover the surface for a sweet contrast.
- Top with Pistachios: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of roughly chopped pistachios evenly over the fig jam layer to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
- Serve: Serve the assembled appetizer immediately with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or sliced fresh veggies. Optionally, chill the appetizer for up to 4 hours before serving and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to enhance flavor and texture.

- Use a variety of crackers or fresh vegetables to offer an assortment of flavors and textures.
- Roughly chopping pistachios ensures a nice crunchy bite without overpowering the delicate cheese.
- This appetizer is best served fresh but can be prepared a few hours in advance.
