Notes
For best results, let the Boursin cheese sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving to allow it to soften and enhance its flavors. You can chop pistachios ahead of time and assemble the cheese and nuts up to a few hours before serving, adding the hot honey just before presentation.
