The final couple of days main as much as Christmas Eve are at all times busy — however someway they really feel slightly extra chilled and laid-back on the similar time. It’s a bizarre factor.

Like most of you, I’m in search of simple snacks and dinners to serve vacation company this week. We will’t precisely dwell on Christmas cookies alone.

I requested my cousin Maggie what she’d been as much as these days, and she or he instantly instructed me about this Boursin dip she made for her Christmas cookie swap. She mentioned it was really easy — and everybody beloved it.

Right here is How I Made It

Elements

• Boursin cheese – the garlic herb taste is what I like

Discover your prettiest plate, then use the again of a spoon to swirl the Boursin into a fair layer.

Tip: for a extra whipped dipped, add 4 ounces of cream cheese and whip all of the cheeses collectively in a meals processor. Tremendous yummy too!

Sprinkle the Boursin with finely chopped salted pistachios and dried cranberries. End with a beneficiant drizzle of sizzling honey — I exploit quite a bit.

Tip: I additionally LOVE utilizing dates or pomegranate.

Serve with salted pretzels or Raincoast Crisps — these are my favorites — however any crispy cracker works. Maggie makes use of Mary’s Seed Crackers and swears by them as a result of they’re good and durable.
