Another thread reminded me of this: Homemade Boursin Cheese Spread.

There are lots of variations of this on the Internet, with different herb combinations, larger quantities, etc. But any way, it’s a lot cheaper than those tiny little commercial patties of Boursin that you find in the deli section of the grocery:

Boursin Cheese Spread

Mix together until fluffy, and then chill at least 24 hours:

8 Oz. softened cream cheese
2 cloves minced garlic
2 T. minced chives
1 T. minced parsley
Pinch of Thyme
2 T. cream (light or heavy :-)
1/2 tsp. lemon juice.

Bring to room temp before serving.
