Boursin Appetizer (with Hot Honey)
Creamy Boursin cheese meets spicy hot honey in this stunning 10-minute appetizer. Topped with crunchy hazelnuts and pomegranate seeds, it's an effortless, show-stopping centerpiece for your holiday parties!
Ingredients
- 2 5.4 ounce Boursin cheese, we used garlic herb flavor, room temp
- ½ cup roasted hazelnuts, chopped or crushed (about ¼ cup crushed)
- 4 Tbsp hot honey
- Pomegranate seeds
- Party Crackers for dipping
Instructions
- Grab a pretty plate or platter –it doesn’t have to be huge, even a dinner plate works. Use the back of a spoon to press the unwrapped (room temp) Boursin cheese onto the plate, spreading evenly.
- Next, drizzle (or squeeze) the hot honey over the cheese. Sprinkle the nuts on top and then the pomegranate seeds.
Notes
Sandy’s tips and substitutions:
- Storage: I recommend you enjoy this boursin spread fresh. That said, any leftovers could go in the refrigerator for a day but the texture and appearance may not hold as well.
- Bring to room temperature: The packaged and unwrapped boursin cheese needs to be brought to room temperature so that it is easy to spread. If not, add a tiny bit of liquid to stir and soften before spreading.
- Make your own hot honey: If you don't have store-bought hot honey, it's easy to make! Gently warm 1/2 cup of regular honey in a microwave or saucepan and stir in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes or a few slices of fresh chili. Let it steep for 15-20 minutes to infuse the heat. Cool it completely before use. Or, ou can use regular honey!
