Ingredients

Cheese Base

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (well softened)
  • 1/4 cup salted butter (well softened)

Seasonings

  • 3 to 5 cloves garlic (minced or pressed)
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning (or chopped fresh parsley)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp Tabasco or other hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Combine cream cheese and butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add seasonings: Beat in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, cracked black pepper, and hot sauce thoroughly to distribute all flavors evenly throughout the cheese mixture.
  3. Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste the Boursin cheese and adjust the salt, pepper, or hot sauce if needed to suit your preference. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but you can adjust the amount depending on your preference.
  • For a smoother texture, ensure cream cheese and butter are very soft at room temperature before mixing.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, sliced baguette, or raw veggies.
  • To customize, swap Italian seasoning with fresh herbs like chives or thyme.
