Scale
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 base: Place the Boursin cheese wheel on a small serving plate, ensuring it is centered and stable for topping.
- Add fig jam: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of fig jam generously over the top of the cheese, spreading it evenly to cover the surface and infuse sweetness with the herbal cheese.
- Top with pistachios: Evenly sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios over the fig jam layer, adding a crunchy texture contrast and nutty flavor.
- Serve or chill: Serve immediately with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh sliced veggies. Alternatively, chill the assembled appetizer for up to 4 hours before serving; if chilled, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes prior to serving to enhance flavor and texture.

- Chilling the appetizer allows flavors to meld but remove from fridge 10 minutes before serving for best taste.
- Use a variety of crackers or fresh vegetables to add color and texture variety.
- Substitute pistachios with walnuts or pecans if desired.
- This recipe requires no cooking and comes together in under 10 minutes, perfect for last-minute entertaining.
