White Bean Boursin

Submitted by mersaydees

"Based on a recipe from The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook by Jo Stepaniak. The recipe intro says, “This French-inspired garlic, black pepper, and herb uncheese is marvelous on bread or crackers and equally scrumptious piled on baked or steamed potatoes. Use it as a condiment scooped on top of pasta along with your favorite tomato-based sauce.” To roast garlic: separate a head of garlic into cloves leaving the papery skin intact; lightly and evenly coat the cloves with cooking spray and place on a sheet pan; roast in preheated 375°F oven until soft to the touch, about 20 minutes; cool; peel off papery skin and use immediately or store tightly covered in the ‘fridge for 5 days. This is free of gluten, soy, nuts, yeast, and corn. Per 2 tablespoons: calories = 60, protein = 3g, fat = 2g, carbs = 7g, calcium = 26 mg, and sodium = 50 mg.
