Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 round (5.2 oz / 150 g) Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs or Cranberry & Pepper)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or hot honey for a spicy twist)
  • 3 tablespoons shelled pistachios, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, or rosemary), finely chopped
  • Crackers, crostini, or baguette slices for serving
  • Optional Additions:
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds
  • A sprinkle of black pepper or chili flakes
  • Drizzle of balsamic glaze for depth

Instructions

  1. Place the Cheese: Unwrap Boursin and place it on a serving board or platter. Optionally reshape it into a round mound for presentation.
  2. Add the Toppings: Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top. Drizzle with honey and add a few sprigs of fresh herbs. For a festive touch, scatter cranberries or pomegranate seeds.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: Surround the cheese with crackers, crostini, or baguette slices. For a complete grazing board, add fruits, nuts, or cured meats.

Notes

  • Serve Boursin at room temperature for the creamiest texture.
  • Avoid overloading toppings — keep the look elegant and balanced.
  • For a warm variation, bake Boursin at 325°F (160°C) for 5–7 minutes for a melted dip.
  • Make ahead up to 24 hours and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Rondele or Borden cheese spreads can be used as substitutes.
