GARLIC HERB CHEESE (COPYCAT BOURSIN) RECIPE



Garlic Herb Cheese (Copycat Boursin) Recipe image

If you've been following my recipes, you'll know that I may be responsible for Boursin being packed into your fridge. Once I discovered this French-style garlic herb cheese went way beyond the charcuterie board and was such a special ingredient for cooking, I started using it in many of my recipes. And the crowd went wild. Now you'll save on costs and make something so comparable, you'd swear it was the same thing.

Categories     Appetizers

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 8-ounce bricks of cream cheese, at room temperature so it's softened (see Jeffrey's Tips)
2 sticks (8 ounces) salted (or unsalted) butter, at room temperature so it's softened (see Jeffrey's Tips)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves (1 tablespoon) garlic, minced or pressed
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Take a silicone, rubber or wooden mixing spoon or spatula and mix together, folding it over until well combined with even seasoning distribution. (NOTE: You can also use a hand mixer if that's easier but I find that familiar consistency is best achieved when mixed by hand.)
  • Once done, you can either serve immediately with crackers or in a recipe (like my Sausage & Shells) or store for later. If storing for later, keep the cheese in the large mixing bowl with a lid on top or divide into 4-5 small ramekins for pre-measured portions (each ramekin will be equivalent to about one 5.2-ounce package of Boursin). Cover with plastic wrap if placing in the fridge where it will last up to a month.

HERBED CHEESE SPREAD



Herbed Cheese Spread image

Tastes just like the expensive Boursin® cheese spread you buy at the store. Reduced-fat cream cheese works well in this recipe. Delicious spread on crackers or as a fill on celery sticks. Good shelf life in the refrigerator. This can be eaten right way, but it's best if refrigerated for at least one day before serving.

HERB CHEESE TWISTS



Herb Cheese Twists image

These are similar to a herbed breadstick. Super simple to make because you use refrigerated buttermilk biscuits. From the Simple 1-2-3 Easy Appetizers cookbook.

Provided by Crafty Lady 13

Categories     Breads

Time 20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 (7 1/2 ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Microwave butter in small bowl on Medium (50%) just until melted; cool slightly. Stir in cheese, parsley and basil. Set aside.
  • Pat each biscuit into a 5 x 2-inch rectangle. Spread 1 teaspoon butter mixture onto each rectangle; cut each in half lengthwise. Twist each strip 3 or 4 times.
  • Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Hint: Save even more time by using ready-to-bake breadsticks. Spread the butter mixture onto the breadsticks, then bake them according to the package directions.

Tips:

  • To make the cream cheese mixture, use a stand or hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  • For the best flavor, use fresh herbs in the cream cheese mixture. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • When wrapping the cheese sticks, make sure to tuck the edges underneath so that the cheese doesn't leak out.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip the chilling step and fry the cheese sticks immediately. However, chilling the cheese sticks will help them hold their shape better.
  • Serve the cheese sticks with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Herbed cheese sticks are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that are perfect for any occasion. They're crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, and they're packed with flavor. Plus, they're a great way to use up leftover cheese. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty snack, give these herbed cheese sticks a try.
