Boursin-style cheese can easily be made at home. Not just more economical, but fresher and tastier.

3 cups (approximately) (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 garlic cloves
8 ounces butter, at room temperature
16 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (the real stuff, and freshly-grated)
1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon chives
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (herbs crumbled)
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

1
Have cheeses and butter at room temperature.
2
Crush garlic.
3
Mix cheeses, butter and garlic.
4
Add remaining ingredients, mix well.
5
Pack into a container just large enough to hold the boursin and store in refrigerator.
6
To serve, bring to room temperature.
7
Serve with crackers.

Will never buy Rondele again, this RAWKS. I used several roasted garlic cloves for extra flavor and omitted the dill. Next time, I will also add a bit of pesto. In keeping with my low carb WOE, I used this to stuff tiny sweet mini peppers, as a spread between slices of stacked salami, and spread on lc tortillas for a wrap appetizer. Eveleyn, simply superb!!

AWESOME stuff!!!! I used garlic chives (what I have growing outside) and didn't use the rest of the herbs. How can it not be good, butter AND cream cheese......

After spending almost 6 dollars!! for a 125 gram package of Rondele(very similar to Boursin) cheese, I though this would certainly be worth trying and I am so glad I did. Very close to the real thing at a fraction of the price. I halved it and served with my flatbread recipe. Delicious- thanks Evelyn.
