Boursin Cheese Fig Dip Appetizer (Four Ingredients)
This is my take on the viral Boursin Cheese Fig Dip Appetizer recipe that is taking the internet by storm. The original version calls for Boursin cheese to be spread thin in a serving dish then topped with a layer of fig jam. Then, everything is coated with hot honey and crushed pistachios.
My version is slightly different. It calls for less sweetness and more bacon, shocking! I also use toasted pecans instead of pistachios. Let me know if you give this delicious and embarrassingly easy appetizer recipe a try! It’s guaranteed to be a hit.

Recipe Ingredients
- Boursin Cheese – For this recipe I used two blocks of Boursin cheese. The caramelize onion and herb flavor works best.
- Fig Jam – This recipe calls for fig jam. I like to use one that isn’t too sweet. Also keep in mind that a little goes a long way, so use a thin layer if you like less sweetness and a thicker layer if you prefer more sweetness.
- Bacon – Crisp up about 5-6 slices of center cut bacon and chop it into small pieces.
- Pecans – Toast pecans in a pan and chop them small.
Variations
- Swap the nuts. If you’re not a fan of pecans, try toasted almonds, or pistachios.
- Make it lighter. For a lighter version, try crispy turkey bacon instead.
- Swap the Boursin. You can try one of their other flavors if you prefer. However, the caramelized onion works very well with the bacon, fig jam and pecans!
Expert Tips
1. Spread the Boursin thin. You want a nice thin layer of cheese. If the container is too small, the cheese layer will be too thick.
2. Use a thin layer of fig jam. The fig jam is sweet so if you prefer less sweetness, use a thin layer.
3. Make sure you toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans adds depth of flavor that’s hard to resist.
4. Adjust the measurements and ingredients based on the size of your serving dish! This recipe can be customized to your liking.
