"Boursin Cheese"

The Boursin Cheese sold in the grocery store is kind of on the pricey side, so just make your own and enjoy the savings. Recipe courtesy of Paula Deen. LOVE HER!

1 pound cream cheese
8 ounces whipped butter, at room temperature
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. dried dill
1/4 tsp. dried marjoram
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. dried thyme

Place the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a food processor. With the machine running, add the seasonings, and process until smoothly blended. Line a medium sized crock or bowl with plastic wrap and fill it with the cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Ashlee side note: This is also really good used as dip for crackers or as a sandwich spread.

Is this recipe equivalent to one package of Boursin. It seems to be quite a bit more than the packages I have gotten. I couldn't find any Boursin at Costco yesterday, or at WinCo, so I am going to make my own, but I don't know how much to use in this recipe.

One package of Boursin cheese is about 5 oz. So, I'm thinking this is going to be approximately 4 packages???? A little more than 4 packages, so you might want to just make a half batch of this depending on what you are making.
