    As New Year's Eve approaches, I am still baking, making candy treats, planning appetizers and dinner menus! My homemade Boursin cheese recipe is always on the menu plan! 

    It is no secret with my family, I am a cheese lover! Boursin Cheese is a personal favorite and so darn expensive. I also have to buy a few at a time because I eat Boursin like it is going out of style!

    Years ago, I was playing around with ingredients and came up with this "copycat" version of the store bought Boursin Cheese! OH MY, you are going to love the recipe and how quick the cheese dip is to prepare!

    We eat this Cheesy Garlic and Herb Recipe straight-up all the time! However, you must make Boursin mashed potatoes and I have a few other recipes in the New Year to share that adding this Boursin cheese make over the top delicious!

    FAQs about delicious Boursin Cheese:

    Ingredients You Will Need to Make Boursin Cheese:

    Neuchatel cheese, my preferred cheese as it is low-fat, unsalted butter, herbs - preferably fresh herbs but I do use dried herbs depending on the time of the year and what is available. Herbs: parsley, dill, marjoram, basil, oregano. Minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

    Can Boursin Cheese Recipe be frozen and used later?

    Yes. Especially during the Holidays or when I am making a bunch of recipes such as Father's Day, Fourth of July, I make anything I can ahead of time. Boursin Cheese freezes really well I make it into square or a ball and par-freeze, then place the cheese in a freezer bag or use a food saver to preserve for a later date.

    Can the cheese or herbs be adjusted or changed in this Cheese Spread Recipe?

    Feel free to swap out herbs to your liking. I have added chervil, thyme, extra garlic. The recipe can be adjusted to your preferences. As for the cheese, I have used goat cheese in lieu of the cream cheese with success.

    How long can Boursin Cheese be kept in the fridge?

    Homemade Boursin Cheese can be kept in the refrigerator for about one week.
