Cheese Spread Ingredients

  • 14 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, softened butter, garlic powder, chopped fresh chives, chopped fresh parsley, salt, white pepper, and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Using an electric hand mixer, blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined, ensuring an even distribution of herbs and seasoning.
  3. Refrigerate To Set: Line a small bowl with plastic wrap (saran wrap). Spoon the creamy cheese mixture into the lined bowl, then wrap it tightly with the plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the cheese holds its shape firmly.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh herbs and freshly grated parmesan cheese for maximum flavor.
  • Let the cream cheese and butter come to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth texture.
  • Store the Boursin cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one week.
  • Feel free to adjust the garlic powder and herbs to taste for a personalized flavor profile.
