Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried dill weed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Allow the cream cheese and unsalted butter to soften at room temperature for about 20 minutes before starting the recipe.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, or use a garlic press for a smoother texture.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use an electric mixer or a silicone spatula to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
Add the minced garlic, dried parsley, dried thyme, dried basil, dried dill weed, salt, black pepper, and onion powder to the bowl. Stir until all the herbs and spices are thoroughly incorporated into the mixture.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed, adding a pinch more salt or herbs if desired.
Transfer the homemade Boursin cheese to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Boursin cheese with crackers, fresh vegetables, or as a spread for bread or sandwiches. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within one week.
