Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 5.3 ounce Boursin cheese softened (see notes)
- 1 tablespoon half and half
- ½ 10 ounce container pepper jelly see notes for subs
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives optional
- 1 10 ounce container of wheat crackers or butter crackers, etc.
Instructions
- WHIP:Add the two softened blocks of Boursin to a food processor or mixing bowl. Add the half and half and pulse until the cream cheese is combined and whipped, about 20-30 seconds. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl to ensure the cream cheese is combined.
- SPREAD: Add the whipped Boursin to your favorite bowl or plate.
- ADD JELLY: Depending on the consistency of your jelly, you may need to zap it in the microwave for a quick 10-30 seconds to help loosen it up, I did. Then pop it right on top of the prepared Boursin. I like to use half the jar, but you can certainly add more pepper jelly if you prefer for this dip to be sweeter. Top with the chopped chives if desired.
- SERVE: with homemade pita chips or your favorite multigrain crackers!
Notes
- Cheese: you can use 2 blocks of garlic and herb or shallot and chives. I like to use one of each to give it the best flavor! Feel free to swap half of the Boursin for softened cream cheese as well, this will help make the dip a bit more economical!
- Pepper jelly substitutes: You can use cranberry pepper jelly, leftover cranberry sauce, or even caramelized onion jam on top of this whipped pepper jelly dip, if you’d like.
