Pepper Boursin

Sue Lau's Note:

This version of homemade boursin reminds me of the black pepper boursin you can buy mixed with the flavor of the regular, although the pepper in their boursin is even stronger. If you prefer, you can increase the black pepper from 1 tsp to 1 1/2-2 tsps. for a more bold flavor. Enjoy!

This is really good. I added about 1/2 the amount of salt called for and thought that was just right. Omitted rosemary as a personal preference.

I made this today because I had an 8oz of nuefchatel cheese that needed to be used up:) I have made a few boursin recipes off the site and although this was very good, it seemed a bit salty (tho I didnt use that much salt). Still very yummy! Thanks Sue L!
