Description

Creamy, savory, and just the right amount of sweet and spicy this Boursin-Cream Cheese Log with Pepper Jelly Glaze is the ultimate party appetizer. The combination of herby Boursin cheese and smooth cream cheese creates a velvety base, while fresh herbs and crunchy nuts add irresistible texture. Topped with a glistening pepper jelly glaze, this elegant yet effortless recipe is perfect for holidays, gatherings, or anytime you want to impress your guests with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, and dill)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup pepper jelly
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crackers or sliced baguette for serving

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Boursin cheese and softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Fold in the chopped herbs and nuts until evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Transfer the cheese mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into a log and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  4. Once set, unwrap and place the cheese log on a serving platter.
  5. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the pepper jelly until pourable. Stir in lemon juice.
  6. Drizzle the warm pepper jelly over the cheese log, letting it cascade down the sides.
  7. Serve with crackers or baguette slices and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Softening the Cream Cheese: Let your cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure a smooth, lump-free blend.
  2. Chill Time: The cheese log needs at least 2 hours to firm up. If you’re short on time, pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes to speed things up.
  3. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors meld beautifully overnight!
