If you love Boursin cheese, but don’t feel as though you can make it at home, think again! You CAN make it at home, and after you do, you’ll wonder why in the world you haven’t been making your own Homemade Boursin Cheese Spread all along.
Consider today as the first day of the rest of your Boursin cheese life! 😉 Making Garlic Herb Homemade Boursin Cheese Spread is a game changer!
**Please Note – The printable recipe card with detailed instructions and complete ingredient measurements for making Easy Garlic Herb Homemade Boursin Cheese Spread is available near the end of this post.
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.
The easy instructions for making Easy Garlic Herb Homemade Boursin Cheese Spread;
- Assemble, and finely mince your selection of fresh herbs (approximately ¼ cup).
- Add the softened cream cheese and butter to a large bowl.
- Add heavy cream, garlic, salt, and pepper to the cream cheese. Whip until smooth and creamy.
- Add the minced herbs to the whipped cream cheese and stir well.
- Spoon the homemade Boursin cheese into a container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Garlic Herb Homemade Boursin Cheese Spread is best served at room temperature.
- To store, tightly cover and refrigerate for up to 7 days.

On the herbs, do you mean 1/4 cup of each herb, or all the herbs combined should total a 1/4 cup? If so, how much of each herb?
Hello, Wilhelmina!
I’m sorry for being unclear. It should be 2 tablespoons of EACH herb which will total approximately ¼ cup (give or take a little).
I’ve gone ahead and adjusted the recipe to reflect this clarification.
Thank you for the question!
