Home-made Boursin Cheese

That delectably fragrant spread known as boursin cheese is quite easy to make at home—which will impress your guests and save you some money at the grocery store!

1 clove garlic, peeled
1/2 cup (118 ml) fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup (59 ml) chives
1 8-ounce (226 g) package cream cheese
1/4 cup (6 oz/170 g) black olives, pitted

In a food processor, chop the garlic and herbs. Add the cream cheese and blend until smooth. Add the olives and chop briefly. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Serve with crackers or spread on pieces of French bread, topped with thin slices of roast beef.

Yield: 1 cup (237 ml)
