Boursin Cheese and Hot Honey Appetizer

If you need a five-minute appetizer idea that will impress your guests, this is it! Just four ingredients and perfect for spreading on crackers or a toasted baguette. We have served this several times now, from family get-togethers to a big Christmas party, and everyone asks for the recipe.

Boursin Cheese and Hot Honey Appetizer Ingredients

• Boursin Cheese – a soft spreadable French cheese. I usually use the Garlic and Fine Herb variety, but there are a variety of flavors that will work with this simple recipe.
• Hot Honey – a sweet and spicy infused honey.
• Pistachios – roasted and salted so they contrast with the sweetness of the honey. Pecans or walnuts would be a good substitute.
• Fresh Thyme – a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves.

How to Assemble the Appetizer

1. Spread Boursin cheese onto a dinner plate or a similar-sized platter. Use room temperature Boursin cheese for easy spreading. If you are short on time, though, you can use it directly from the fridge.
2. Drizzle with hot honey.
3. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and fresh thyme.
4. Serve with crackers or toasted baguettes.
5. Serve extra pistachios alongside the Boursin for a secondary snack.
