Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 (5.2 oz) package Garlic & Fine Herbs Boursin Cheese
- 6 slices thin prosciutto
- 2 tbsp chopped mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- 2 tbsp honey
Makes 6 appetizers – easily doubled for larger gatherings.
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Cheese: Slice Boursin cheese into six wedges using a sharp knife. Keep cheese cold for easier cutting.
- Wrap with Prosciutto: Wrap each wedge completely in a slice of prosciutto, folding edges underneath to seal. Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake 15–18 minutes, or until prosciutto is crisp and golden. Let rest for 3–5 minutes to set.
- Finish: Drizzle each bite with honey and sprinkle with chopped nuts before serving.
- Serve Warm: Arrange on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Use thinly sliced, good-quality prosciutto for best crispiness.
- Do not overbake — prosciutto can burn quickly near the end.
- Add honey and nuts only after baking to prevent burning.
- Try flavor variations like Shallot & Chive or Cranberry & Pepper Boursin.
- Serve on cocktail picks or with fresh rosemary for presentation.
