Ensure the cream cheese and unsalted butter are at room temperature to make blending easier.
Finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press for a smoother texture.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a food processor, combine the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
Add the minced garlic, dried parsley, dried chives, dried dill, dried thyme, and dried oregano to the cheese mixture.
Season the mixture with freshly ground black pepper and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Mix thoroughly until all herbs and spices are evenly distributed throughout the cheese.
Transfer the homemade Boursin to a serving dish or airtight container. Level the surface with a spatula for a clean presentation.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
