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!

Boursin Appetizer with Pistachios and Honey
Total Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 6 as an appetizer 1x
Description
This easy appetizer comes together lightning quick with just 3 ingredients: creamy Boursin, pistachios, and hot honey.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 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)
- 3–4 tablespoons hot honey
- crackers or apple slices for dipping
Instructions
- Let the Boursin come to room temperature for 15 minutes. (Optional – this just makes it easier to spread, dip, and eat.)
- 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.
- Top with the pistachios. Drizzle with hot honey.
- 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.
