Homemade Boursin Cheese Spread

When I see Boursin cheese I always think of the holidays. Why? Because that’s the only time I would splurge and pick some up. My oldest son loves the stuff but it’s pretty pricey, so unless there was a good sale or it was a holiday, I just pass that delicious cheese spread by.

Not familiar with Boursin? You’ve probably passed it by in the store.

It’s a delicious, creamy herb spread that you can use as a dip or a spread. Try it instead of butter, mayo or mustard. Oh man, your taste buds will thank you!

My kids wiped this out in a day. It tastes even better than the Boursin brand in my opinion. Creamy, garlicky and loaded with herbs. It’s so simple to make too. Grab a container of whipped cream cheese, throw in some herbs and let it sit for 24 hours. That’s it! Simple and so good! I never have to buy it again!

Boursin every week!!!!
