Description

This elegant Boursin appetizer combines creamy garlic herb cheese with crunchy roasted pistachios and a sweet drizzle of hot honey, served alongside crisp crackers or fresh apple slices for a perfect balance of flavors and textures. It’s an effortless, no-cook appetizer ideal for entertaining or a sophisticated snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • One 5.4 ounce wheel of Boursin cheese (garlic herb flavor recommended)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup roasted salted shelled pistachios, chopped or crushed (about 1/4 cup crushed)
  • 3–4 tablespoons hot honey

Serving

  • Crackers or apple slices for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prep (Optional): Allow the Boursin cheese to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. This step makes the cheese softer and easier to spread but is not mandatory.
  2. Spread Cheese: Place a pretty plate or platter on your workspace. Using the back of a spoon, evenly press the entire Boursin wheel onto the plate to form an even layer, creating an inviting base for the toppings.
  3. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped or crushed roasted pistachios evenly over the layer of Boursin cheese. Then, drizzle 3 to 4 tablespoons of hot honey generously over the top to add a sweet and spicy contrast.
  4. Serve: Arrange crackers or fresh apple slices alongside the cheese plate. For convenience, include a small spoon to help spread the cheese onto crackers or apples for a delightful appetizer experience.

Notes

  • Allowing the cheese to warm slightly enhances spreadability but is optional.
  • Roasted salted pistachios add a salty crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy cheese and sweet honey.
  • Hot honey can be substituted with regular honey if heat is not desired.
  • This appetizer requires no cooking, making it quick and easy to prepare for last-minute gatherings.
  • Apple slices provide a refreshing, crisp alternative to crackers.
