For this recipe of Homemade Boursin Cheese, I was fortunate enough to use the fresh herbs I have growing in pots on my deck in the backyard. However, if you don’t have access to your own fresh herbs, it’s nice that these days there is a wide variety of fresh herbs readily available in grocery stores, and at local farmer’s markets.

Homemade Boursin Cheese Ingredient list;

Cream cheese
Butter (I use salted)
Fresh parsley, dill, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, and sage
Minced garlic
Heavy cream
Black pepper
Pink Himalayan Salt
Assorted vegetables for dipping (celery, broccoli, and red bell peppers, shown), or crackers.

Do I have to use fresh herbs, or can I use dried herbs to make homemade Boursin cheese, and can I use other herbs than what you’ve listed?

Yes, you can use dried herbs, but since dried herbs are more intense in flavor, make sure to cut back on the amount you use. Feel free to use your personal favorite herbs when making your own Homemade Boursin Cheese.
