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
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese: Place the Boursin cheese wheel on a small serving plate, ensuring it’s centered and ready for toppings.
- Add the Fig Jam: Generously spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of fig jam over the top of the cheese, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
- Top with Pistachios: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of roughly chopped pistachios evenly over the fig jam layer for a crunchy texture contrast.

Notes
- For best flavor, allow the cheese to sit at room temperature before assembling if taken directly from the fridge.
- Try different jam flavors like apricot or raspberry for variety.
- Chilling the appetizer ahead makes it easier to transport for gatherings.
- Use toasted nuts if you prefer a deeper flavor from the pistachios.
- Ideal for quick entertaining or as a light snack option.
