Crispy Baked Boursin with Spicy Honey 🍯 Oh. My. This might be my new favorite appetizer…or should I say meal since I ate the entire thing myself in one sitting? It’s crispy, it’s cheesy, it’s got the spicy honey kick at the end – on I’m getting carried away again. 😂 I’m gonna stop with the small talk and just get to the recipe. Trust me, you need to make this. Ingredients: Boursin Cheese (I used garlic Herb but any flavor would work) Flour Panko Bread crumbs (you MUST use Panko in order to get the cheese crispy enough) 1 egg, beaten Salt & Pepper Spicy Honey Chopped Rosemary Directions: Preheat your oven to 410 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set out 3 bowls: fill one with a little flour, one with Panko that’s also been seasoned with salt & pepper and one with a beaten egg. Take your Boursin cheese out of the foil, and place into the flour making sure all sides are covered well. Dust off the excess, dip into the egg, and then dip into the Panko. Again- very important to cover all sides! Carefully place boursin on the baking sheet and place into the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until crispy brown. If needed, broil for a minute or so to get the outside browned! Once out of the oven, drizzle with spicy honey and garnish with chopped rosemary. Enjoy with your favorite crackers! This is gonna be the hit of the party! #holiday #appetizer #cheese #fyp

    Do you need to freeze the Boursin first? Won’t it melt away?

      We made it and I thought the same thing; but no, don’t freeze it. It softens but keeps its shape. It’s amazing!!

    This looks incredible, cannot wait to try it. Weird question, any thoughts on what I can use in place of egg? My son is allergic and I hate telling him he can’t have something (he’s 2, and never met a cheese he didn’t like!)

      I served water crackers with the garlic and herb Boursin. It was a hit! I also found a Fig & Balsamic Boursin and served that with Artisan Crisps from Aldi.

    Absolutely delicious! The two of us ate the entire thing in minutes. We will be making more as an appetizer for Christmas Eve. Followed the recipe exactly. Only needed 20 minutes in the oven and 1 minute under broiler. A must try!

    I made this with gluten free Panko crumbs. It was delicious. However it did melt in way less than the 20 minutes.

Pepper Jelly and Boursin Dip 🌶️ Keep this 3 ingre Pepper Jelly and Boursin Dip 🌶️

Keep this 3 ingredient app in your back pocket next time you need something quick, easy and DELISH! You can make so many variations of this by just swapping out the toppings. 

2 rounds of Garlic & Herb Boursin
1 jar pepper jelly 
Minced chives
Cheesy French Onion Pasta with (or without) Mushro Cheesy French Onion Pasta with (or without) Mushrooms

All the rich, savory flavors of French onion soup, but make it a cheesy, bubbling pasta bake. Caramelized onions, mushrooms, a creamy mascarpone sauce, and LOTS of Gruyère. I mean, what more could you want?!

INGREDIENTS:

Kosher salt
1 lb dried ziti pasta
2 tbsp olive oil (love Juice @foodbymaria )!
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 5 cups)
8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms
Coarsely ground black pepper
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh)
½ cup white wine
2 cups beef broth (not low-sodium)
8 oz mascarpone
1 lb Gruyère, grated (about 4 cups), divided
8 oz low-moisture mozzarella, chopped
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until just al dente (about 2 minutes less than package directions), 8–9 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and mushrooms and increase heat to high. Cook without stirring for 5 minutes, until beginning to brown. Season with salt and pepper, then cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, about 12 minutes.

Add butter and let melt. Stir in flour, garlic, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add white wine and cook until almost completely reduced, about 30 seconds.

Add beef broth and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Stir in mascarpone until creamy. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stir in 1 cup Gruyère and the drained pasta, tossing to coat. Top with remaining Gruyère and mozzarella.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly and melted. Let cool for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and DIG IN!

PRO TIP: The secret to beautifully caramelized onions? Patience! If they’re browning too quickly or sticking to the skillet, add a splash of water or even beef broth and stir to loosen those delicious browned bits. You’re looking for soft, sweet, golden-brown onions, not blackened or crispy ones! (Take it from me 🫠)
Fall Appetizer: Jam + Ritz Baked Brie The best p Fall Appetizer: Jam + Ritz Baked Brie 

The best part is you can use whatever jam is on hand! Think: fig, apricot, cherry - could even go savory and do onion jam! Whatever! Make this and report back. It’s a good one to have in your back pocket.

INGREDIENTS:
8 ounce Brie cheese wheel 
2 tablespoons of whatever jam/preserves (I used fig)
Coarsely ground pepper
8 @ritzcrackers , crushed, plus more crackers for serving
1 tablespoon olive oil
Flaky salt and chopped fresh rosemary, for serving

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center position. Using a sharp knife, make 4 parallel cuts on one flat side of the cheese, cutting just through the rind but not much deeper. Turn the cheese 90° degrees and make 4 more parallel cuts. 

Cut a round of parchment a little larger than the brie. Place the parchment in the bottom of a small baking sheet or oven-safe skillet. Put the brie on the parchment, scored side up, on top. 

Spread the jam/preserves on top of the brie and season with pepper. In a small bowl, combine the crushed crackers and olive oil and stir until the crumbs are coated in oil. Sprinkle the cracker crumbs on top of the jam.

Transfer the brie to the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes (keeping a close eye that your Brie doesn’t completely melt like mine lol) until the cheese is warm and the cracker crumbs are lightly toasted. 

Transfer the cheese to a serving plate. Sprinkle the cheese with chopped rosemary and flaky salt and serve immediately with more crackers. 
That’s it!

Spiced Pear & Rosemary Gin Sour 🍐🍸 Fresh pear, ro Spiced Pear & Rosemary Gin Sour 🍐🍸

Fresh pear, rosemary, warm spices, and gin shaken into a deliciously frothy little chic fall cocktail!!!

INGREDIENTS:
2 oz gin
½ ripe pear, peeled, cored + chopped
1 oz fresh lemon juice (maybe even more if you want it super tart)
¾ oz elderflower liqueur
¼ oz honey syrup
1 egg white
1 sprig fresh rosemary
pinch of ground cinnamon
pinch of ground ginger
Ice
Fresh pear slice + rosemary sprig, for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

First, make your honey syrup right in the shaker! Add a little honey and an equal amount of warm tap water, stirring until dissolved. Add the chopped pear, lemon juice, and rosemary and muddle until the pear is nice and juicy. Add the gin, elderflower liqueur, cinnamon, ginger, and egg white. Shake vigorously WITHOUT ice for about 15 seconds to create that gorgeous froth! Add ice and shake again until nice and cold. Double strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a chilled coupe, gently pressing to extract all that pear juice. Garnish with a fresh pear slice and sprig of rosemary. CHEERS!!! 🍸

PRO TIP: The riper the pear, the better! You want one that’s soft, fragrant, and juicy enough to practically melt when muddled. Bartlett pears are especially good here.

And go VERY light on the cinnamon and ginger. We want a whisper of fall spice, not a cocktail that tastes like potpourri. 🤣
