Ingredients
- 5.4 oz Boursin cheese
- 0.5 cup roasted salted pistachios
- 3.5 tbsp hot honey
- 1 serving crackers or apple slices
Temper the Cheese
Remove the Boursin cheese from its packaging and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes so it softens and spreads easily.
Spread the Cheese
Using the back of a spoon, press and spread the Boursin into an even layer across a serving plate or small platter.
Top and Serve
Scatter the chopped pistachios over the cheese and drizzle generously with hot honey. Place a small spreading knife or spoon on the plate and serve alongside crackers or apple slices for dipping.
