- 3 tablespoons fig jam
- 2 tablespoons chopped roasted pistachios (unsalted or lightly salted)

- Crackers, crostini, or sliced baguette for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Place the Boursin cheese on a small serving plate or cheese board, spreading it gently to form an even and attractive base.
- Add the fig jam: Spoon the fig jam over the top of the cheese, allowing some to drip slightly down the sides for a decorative effect.
- Sprinkle pistachios: Evenly scatter the chopped roasted pistachios over the fig jam layer to add texture and a nutty flavor.
- Garnish with thyme: If using, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top to enhance aroma and visual appeal.
- Serve: Present immediately with an assortment of crackers, crostini, or toasted baguette slices for guests to enjoy.
Notes

- For a seasonal variation, try Boursin shallot & chive or cranberry spice flavors.
- A drizzle of honey over the top can add extra sweetness and shine if desired.
