Today’s post is in partnership with Martha Stewart Living and Boursin® Cheese. As always, all opinions are 100% my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that help make Ciao Chow Bambina possible.
You know what they say….when you have Boursin® Cheese, you have a party! Wait, or is it when you have peanuts you have a party? Regardless – when you have Boursin® Cheese, you have a partayyyyy! And it’s not just any party – Boursin® Cheese, with its decadent creamy crumbly texture means that every bite ends with a “Wow!” Who doesn’t want to experience that?
Are you guys dreaming about parties on the patio? Wingdings on the deck? I get to this point in winter, and it’s all I can do to keep from dreaming about summer get togethers. And although the sun and warmer weather enhance our outdoor gigs, there is no reason we can’t party like it’s 1999, right now… inside or out… because here’s the thing – with scrumptious nosh that includes anything prepared with Boursin® Cheese, we’re going to forget all about the fact that it’s still March.
Boursin® Cheese makes six irresistible flavors – each one as tasty as the last – and they all pair beautifully with so many things: homemade crackers, crostini, bruschetta, pita, puff pastry…the options are endless! Boursin® Cheese is all about inspiring over-the-top tiny toasts! Oh man – if you follow me regularly – then you know what a fan I am of toast. And now we’re talking ‘tiny toasts’! I can hardly handle it!
This cheese has cracked the code on wow-worthy flavor. Made with a delicious blend of delicate garlic, fragrant parsley and mild chives folded into authentic Gournay Cheese, it makes my za’atar crackers proud to be in its company. These Parmigiano based crackers speckled with the Mediterranean spice flavors of za’atar make for the perfect tiny toast. Topped with fresh seasonal ingredients and coupled with a glass of your favorite wine – we’re talking party. Correction: partayyyyy!
I encourage you to check out boursin.com where you’ll find a plethora of easy and elegant recipes. Your party planning just got a whole lot easier and a whole lot tastier!
Buon Appetito!
