You don’t need to buy the expensive version of this great cheese. You can make homemade Boursin-style cheese with items you probably already have on hand. It really tastes just like the stuff in the store. And because it’s a whole heck of a lot cheaper to make you can use more of it! I always felt guilty eating the fru-fru stuff. I had to stretch it out. Not this. I can load up and not feel like I’m going broke!
Not Just For Crackers
This homemade Boursin-style cheese is perfect on crackers, baked potatoes, apple slices, steak, burgers and grilled corn-on-the-cob! And absolutely yummy spooned on top of grilled polenta disks.
I think the fact that this is a cheaper version of the store-bought cheese opens up new opportunities for using it. Now I don’t hesitate to smear it on everything!
