Boursin Fig Dip
Boursin Fig Dip is an easy appetizer that comes together in minutes and tastes like something you would order at a fancy restaurant. This version is made with a homemade Boursin-style cheese topped with fig jam and finished with crunchy pistachios for the perfect balance of savory, sweet and salty.
This easy appetizer dip has been all over social media and one of my daughter in laws brought it to our family Christmas. I absolutely loved it and I will be making it for every get together! I love Boursin Cheese but it’s not available at my local grocery store, so I made my own version that is even better.
