Main Ingredients
- 1 wheel (5.4 ounces) Boursin cheese, garlic herb flavor
- 1/2 cup roasted salted shelled pistachios, chopped or crushed (about 1/4 cup crushed)
- 3–4 tablespoons hot honey
- Crackers or apple slices, for dipping
Instructions
- Prep (Optional): Allow the Boursin cheese to come to room temperature, about 15 minutes, to make spreading and dipping easier.
- Spread Cheese: Place the Boursin cheese on a serving plate or platter. Use the back of a spoon to press and spread the cheese into an even layer on the plate.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped or crushed pistachios evenly over the cheese layer. Then drizzle 3 to 4 tablespoons of hot honey over the top to add a sweet and spicy flavor contrast.
- Serve: Arrange crackers or apple slices around the plate for dipping. Optionally, provide a small spoon to help guests spread the cheese and toppings on their crackers or fruit slices.
Notes
- Allowing the cheese to warm up slightly enhances its spreadability and flavor.
- You can adjust the amount of hot honey according to your preferred spice level.
- For a nut-free version, substitute the pistachios with seeds like toasted pumpkin or sunflower.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and fresh flavors.
