Can this be frozen after making?
Yes, absolutely!
This is very good and comes close to the Boursin cheese. Other recipes use WAY too much herbs and overpowers the cheese.
Thank you, George! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Amazing! I have had the real boursin many times, and wanted to make it myself. I made this recipe exactly as written. I could not tell the difference. Unbelievable!
I’m so glad you loved it!!!
This is the longest post in the world for a cheese spread. God help us and just get to the recipe.
Not everyone is a stupid home cook that needs a zillion steps!
Hi Tricia- I appreciate your criticism but this is a free site. Its not for everyone. Someone that needs extra steps is not “stupid” in my eyes. I’m here trying to teach people that might not have all the answers, just as I don’t! Have a great holiday season.
How much crushed garlic? This recipe, just as the recipe for spinach stuffed chicken breast, lists an ingredient without any directions for the ingredient.
Hi Kimberly, I’m not sure what you mean. The recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and you mix it in with the other ingredients. I double checked the recipe. Please let me know if I’m missing something, I’m always grateful when people miss something I messed up on. Have a great Sunday!
