A friend of mine gave me a recipe she found on the internet that had Boursin cheese, pistachios and hot honey. It was excellent!!

I've made this several times now and include almonds and craisins.



Serves 6

Ingredients
 
One 5.4 oz wheel of Boursin cheese (I like the garlic herb flavor)
1/4  c. shelled, unsalted pistachios, chopped or crushed
A handful of sliced almonds
A handful of craisins
Hot honey to drizzle
Crackers or crostini
 
Directions
 
Let the Boursin come to room temperature for at least 20 minutes. Sometimes I’ll put it in the microwave for 10 seconds.
 
Spread the cheese on a plate using the back of a spoon creating an even layer.
 
Top with the pistachios, craisins, and almonds.  Finish by drizzling the honey over the entire area.
 
Notes: 
 
Toppings don’t have to be exact measurements.
 
You can change up the ingredients. I’ve seen recipes using other types of nuts, as well as fig jam. At a holiday party, someone included crispy crumbled bacon!
 
If you don’t like spicy foods, use regular honey. However, with the combination of the ingredients, it doesn’t have a super hot taste.
 
I buy the cheese at Costco, which comes in a package of 3. It’s a better deal than buying just one at other stores.
 
Double the recipe for a large group.
