Boursin-Homemade created by St. Louie Suzie

This recipes is very close to the commercial cheese. Best if used in 1 or 2 days as the garlic gets very strong!

I have made as a spread, but I also use the herb portions to make ranch dressing. Omit cream cheese and butter and add the herbs to a mixture of buttermilk and mayo. Delicious.

This was easy and delicious! Reminded me of Alouette brand soft cheese that costs about $4.50 a serving at the store!

This is great! However, I disagree that it should be used quickly. It keeps a long time if tightly covered without the garlic becoming overpowering!

Wow! Almost bought a three pack of Boursin from Costco. Then I remembered I saw this recipe. Glad I did, it was cheaper to make and wonderful taste! Thanks!
