Ingredients

• 225 grams Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1.5 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Take the cream cheese and unsalted butter out of the fridge about 30 minutes before starting the recipe to let them come to room temperature. This will make it easier to blend everything together.

Step 2

Peel the garlic and mince it finely using a knife or a garlic press for a smooth texture.

Step 3

Wash and pat dry the fresh herbs (parsley, chives, thyme, and dill). Finely chop them, keeping all the herbs separated for easy measurement.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and butter. Using a spatula or hand mixer, blend them together until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chives, thyme, and dill into the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the top.

Step 6

Mix everything thoroughly until all the herbs and seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.

Step 7

Taste the herby garlic boursin and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding a sprinkle more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, ramekin, or airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

For best flavor, refrigerate the boursin for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve chilled with crackers, crusty bread, or fresh vegetables as a creamy, flavorful spread.
