How to Make It

1. Wrap the Boursin
   Place prosciutto slices on a board, slightly overlapping.
   Set the Boursin wheel in the center and wrap tightly so it’s fully enclosed.
2. Crisp the Prosciutto
   Option A — Skillet:
   Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add wrapped Boursin and cook 2–3 minutes per side until crispy.
   Option B — Oven:
   Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes until golden.
3. Add the Toppings
   Remove from heat.
   Drizzle generously with honey.
   Sprinkle chopped nuts on top for crunch.
4. Serve Immediately
   Serve warm with crackers, crostini, toasted bread, or fresh fruit.

Additional Tips

• Use cold Boursin for easier wrapping
• For extra crunch, broil the top for 1–2 minutes
• If making for a bigger crowd, bake multiple wheels at once
• Add a pinch of chilli flakes for sweet heat
• Pistachios are the prettiest nut choice for colour

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can wrap the Boursin in prosciutto ahead, but bake/cook right before serving for best crispiness.

Can I use bacon instead of prosciutto?

Yes! Par-cook bacon first, then wrap and finish in the oven.

What should I serve with it?

Crackers, toasted baguette, sliced apples/pears, grapes, or a charcuterie board.

Does it reheat well?

Best eaten fresh, but you can reheat in the oven for 5–8 minutes.
