I LOVE Boursin garlic and herb cheese spread…
That being said, it’s expensive!
For 5.2 ounces, the price varies from $5.26 to $7.49 depending on the store…and honestly, 5.2 ounces is NOT enough in my opinion!
This recipe was shared with me some time ago and I keep a tub on hand most of the time, especially in the summer months.
Enjoy!
Better Than Boursin
- 1 8 – 16 oz cream cheese, block or tub (I love the whipped tub cream cheese, but any version works great!)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 4-6 garlic cloves (grated…use fresh, not the jarred minced!)
- 1/2 tsp Jane's Krazy Mixed Up Salt (This makes all the difference!)
- 1 – 2 tbsp dried parsley flakes
-
Put the cream cheese into a small mixing bowl…save the container if using the tub cream cheese.
-
Melt the butter in a small microwave dish.
-
Grate or crush the garlic and add it to the melted butter along with the salt and parsley flakes.
-
Pour into the cream cheese and mix well.
-
Scoop back into the tub and refrigerate.
I love using this spread for all kinds of things!
On sandwiches, baked potatoes, crackers, veggies and bread to name a few!
