Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp Fresh chives
- 1 tbsp Fresh dill
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground white pepper
Instructions
Take the cream cheese and unsalted butter out of the refrigerator to let them soften to room temperature for easier mixing.
Finely mince the garlic or use a garlic press to ensure a smooth texture.
Chop the fresh parsley, chives, and dill into fine pieces.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the minced garlic, fresh parsley, chives, dill, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and ground white pepper to the bowl.
Stir well to incorporate all of the herbs and seasonings evenly into the cheese mixture.
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Transfer the Boursin cheese spread to a serving dish or airtight container. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
