This recipe comes from Paula Deen. It tastes exactly like the boursin cheese sold at stores, for a fraction of the cost! I like to serve this spread with buttery crackers. You could also use it to make sandwiches, etc... The prep time does not include softening of cream cheese, butter or the refrigeration time.

3 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb cream cheese, softened (2 8 oz. bars)
8 ounces whipped butter, at room temp
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

1
Put the cream cheese and butter into the bowl of a food processor. (You could use a mixer or blender if you don't have a food processor.).
2
Add the seasonings and process until completely blended and smooth.
3
Line a medium-sized serving bowl with plastic wrap and fill it with the cheese mixture.
4
Cover and refrigerate for at least a few hours before serving.
5
You can keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
6
Enjoy!

Gosh, this is good! I've never heard of Boursin Cheese before, but we love it! My youngest son really got into it! Lol We served it with pita crackers for a late light lunch today (Father's Day in Aus). This is something I will make sure I have in the fridge from now on! Thanks for putting me onto this recipe lIG [Made for Aus/NZ Swap]

This is exactly like the Boursin I bought at the store last week. I actually kept some back so I could do a side-by-side comparison. I could not detect any significant differences between the store-bought and the homemade. What a $$$ saver! I almost always have the ingredients on hand, so I'll be making my own from now on. Rather than using whipped butter, I used 4 oz regular unsalted butter and whipped it prior to adding the remaining ingredients. It was not any more difficult to spread than the store-bought Boursin. Thank you, LifeIsGood, for sharing this great recipe!
