That reminds me of Boursin Cheese or Pub Cheese spread. It’s more mild though than strong but you can perk it up with random bits of other cheeses. I make this often and usually stuff it inside chicken breasts or boned thighs and bake. It also makes a good dip. Yes, most can buy it but it’s not sold in my store.
Boursin Cheese Spread
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
a good sprinkle of garlic powder
bit of finely diced onion
ground pepper
parsley
dill
any other herbs you wish
any other wee bits of cheese you have
I love that spread! I first had it when a cousin gave it to everyone for Christmas in pretty glass crocks. And it costs so much if you buy it ready-made, but it’s very inexpensive if you make it yourself.
Does anyone have a recipe for the kind of cheddar-jalapeno ‘pub’ spread that you can buy? I really like that, but haven’t found a good recipe.

I love Boursin, and my friend has a great dip she makes from it.
Take a package of Boursin, add a handful of halved cherry tomatoes and a handful of chopped fresh basil. Warm gently, (in the oven or small crock pot) and serve with crackers or veggies. Sooooo yummy.
