Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 4 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon to mix until smooth and well blended.
Add the minced garlic, fresh parsley, chives, thyme leaves, and dried dill to the cheese mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the herbs.
Add the salt and ground black pepper, mixing thoroughly to ensure the seasoning is evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or a small airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula.
For best results, cover and refrigerate the Boursin cheese for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. However, it can also be served immediately if needed.
Bring the cheese to room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving to ensure it spreads easily.
Serve with crackers, fresh vegetables, or crusty bread. Enjoy!
