Boursin Appetizer with Pistachios and Honey

Boursin, pistachios, and hot honey on a plate as an appetizer

Long Live Easy Appetizers!

This Boursin appetizer is now in my back pocket forever.

Creamy Boursin spread on a plate, topped with salted pistachios, and drizzled with hot honey. Done. It takes all of 5 minutes and it is like a people magnet. It’s SO GOOD.

I am making this Boursin appetizer blog-official because I’ve been getting lots of questions about it on Instagram, but you hardly need a recipe at all:

  • Spread Boursin on a plate.
  • Top with pistachios and hot honey.
  • Live that best life.

It has been such a hit with my friends at dinner parties and hang outs. And, maybe even better, it’s also been a hit here at my house where I’ve now taken to making this plate on a random weeknight to have as an easy appetizer eaten on the deck outside with my kids. It is the happiest hour.

Several of you have told me that fig jam on top (before pistachios) is also heavenly – I have to say, I’m attached to my current version but I do believe you that fig jam is a power move. Mentioning in case someone wants to take that and run with it.

Hope you love this one as much as I do!

Description

This easy appetizer comes together lightning quick with just 3 ingredients: creamy Boursin, pistachios, and hot honey.


Ingredients

Units
  • one 5.4 ounce wheel of Boursin cheese (I like the garlic herb flavor)
  • 1/2 cup roasted salted shelled pistachios, chopped or crushed (about 1/4 cup crushed)
  • 34 tablespoons hot honey
  • crackers or apple slices for dipping

Instructions

  1. Let the Boursin come to room temperature for 15 minutes. (Optional – this just makes it easier to spread, dip, and eat.)
  2. Grab a pretty plate or platter – even just a nice dinner plate will work. Use the back of a spoon to press the Boursin onto the plate in an even layer.
  3. Top with the pistachios. Drizzle with hot honey.
  4. Serve with crackers or apple slices. I like to throw a small spoon on the plate to make it easier to spread the dip on the crackers. It’s so good!

Notes

Crackers: I served these with a flat garlic thyme cracker at the last dinner party I had and it was so good! But really, this dip would go with just about any type of crackers.

Chopper: I love this little chopper for crushing or chopping nuts (and sauces, and veggies – I use it all the time)! Just a few pulses and you’re good to go. So quick and easy.

Crispy Buffalo Tofu with Caesar Salad

I’ve Made This Tofu 3x This Week. Sometimes eaten in a frenzy as a finger food at 5pm, but usually tossed on top of a creamy kale caesar salad like you see here – it’s bar food meets wholesome food. This buffalo tofu is way too easy. Just criminal. Zero batters and breading, zero cutting boards to wash. Just a two ingredient hot sauce + butter combo and a quick air fry or bake for the crispy tofu base. You can throw this tofu into a wrap or bowl, but lately what has really been floating my boat is just a big ol’ pile of this saucy tofu on top of a Caesar salad. My faves: The bagged Caesar from Trader Joe’s The store-bought vegan Caesar dressing from Trader Joe’s (it’s in the refrigerated section) This avocado kale caesar The buffalo sauce is too spicy for my girls, so I leave a few pieces for them without the sauce to dip in ranch or ketchup. And they love it. I made last tonight for dinner and I thought, I need to tell you to double this – we have a family of 4, wi...

Thai Shrimp Curry with Yummy Shallot Crispies

Shallot Crispies For Prez. Breaking news: from here on out, any creamy curry dish that I make will be needing a spoonful of shallot crispies on top. Holy smokes! This whole shrimp curry combo is SO yummy. Might be my favorite dish from the whole SOS series so far? Can I say that? It has incredible flavor from, like, 5 main ingredients. (I use this Thai Kitchen red curry paste and consistently love it. For yellow curry, I like Maesri .) Plus, if you can muster up a little bonus energy, those shallot crispies on top! Getting into all the saucy crevices! I can’t stop talking about them. Fried shallots are not new – they’re a known and loved Southeast-Asian style topping, but to my knowledge the addition of fried panko is just the slightly-weird iteration of a hungry home cook in Minnesota looking to take the shallot-y crunch even further. (She’s me.) The curry of my dreams: How it looks for my kids: I serve the shrimp curry and rice to the table so they always have t...
