Stocking a few essentials is an easy\u00a0way to satisfy the cravings of friends who show up\u00a0unexpectedly. After all, meeting up with friends,\u00a0laughing and catching up can build up an appetite!\u00a0Ready in a jiffy, the Impromptu platter puts\u00a0everything you have on hand to good use.\u00a0Naturally, it all starts with Boursin.<\/p>\n<h4>BASIC INGREDIENTS, EXQUISITE TASTE<\/h4>\n<p>Melba toast, unsalted crackers, cherry tomato\u00a0skewers, some fresh vegetables (don\u2019t forget the\u00a0snow peas, beans or zucchini!), nuts and\u00a0marinades (olives, pickles, cocktail onions, etc.) are\u00a0all a good start. But don\u2019t hesitate to go through\u00a0your preserves: artichoke hearts, heart-of- palm\u00a0slices, marinated mushrooms and tangerine\u00a0quarters are all great additions to your platter.\u00a0Accompany them with your favourite Boursin, and\u00a0let the fun begin!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial admin_label=&#8221;Testimonial&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>To make sure you\u2019re never caught short, the secret\u00a0is to stock foods with a long shelf life &#8230; and replace\u00a0what you use.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Texte&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>If your guests are feeling particularly peckish,\u00a0consider serving more substantial fare such as cold\u00a0cuts, sausages or salmon mousse. Take a peek in\u00a0the pantry since a can of tuna, salmon, mussels or\u00a0smoked oysters can be just what you\u2019re missing.\u00a0You may even find that exquisite duck terrine your\u00a0friends brought back from Europe \u2013 a sure-fire way\u00a0to impress your guests!<\/p>\n<h4>A PLATTER WITHOUT PRETENSE<\/h4>\n<p>Simplicity always seems to taste better! Get out\u00a0your nicest cutting board or a large platter to\u00a0accommodate your bite-size treats. Your cutting\u00a0board has seen better days? None of your plates\u00a0seem appropriate for your feast? No worries! Cover\u00a0your board or a large baking sheet with parchment\u00a0paper and place your Boursin (you know you don\u2019t\u00a0have to settle for just one, right?) in the centre of\u00a0your toppings. The final touch: decorate your platter\u00a0with a drizzle of balsamic reduction, a few knobs of\u00a0port jelly or sprigs of fine herbs.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best moments are often those that are unplanned.
