Description
A delicious, incredibly easy, and sophisticated Boursin Appetizer with Pistachios and Hot Honey. This no-bake dip features creamy garlic-herb cheese topped with crunchy nuts and a sweet-spicy drizzle, ready in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (5.4 oz) wheel of Boursin cheese (garlic herb recommended)
- 1/2 cup roasted salted shelled pistachios, chopped or crushed
- 3–4 tbsp hot honey
- Crackers or apple slices, for serving
Instructions
- Optional Prep: Let the Boursin come to room temperature for about 15 minutes for easier spreading.
- Spread the Cheese: Place the Boursin on a plate or small platter. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread and flatten it into an even layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped pistachios generously over the cheese. Drizzle hot honey on top.
- Serve: Present with your choice of crackers or apple slices. Add a small spoon or spreader for easy serving.
Notes
- Crackers: Garlic thyme crackers or neutral-flavored crisps work especially well.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble up to an hour in advance; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Softening Cheese: Ensure Boursin is near room temperature for easy spreading and the best creamy texture.
- Nut Flavor: Use roasted, salted pistachios. The saltiness is crucial for balancing the sweetness of the hot honey.
- Garnishes: Add a sprinkle of cracked black pepper or a few fresh thyme leaves to enhance the savory-spicy profile.
