Like a Boursin with garlic and herbs

A recipe from cooking-ez.com

For 300 g, you will need:

• 1 250 g cream cheese
• 2 1 shallot
• 3 1 garlic clove
• 4 1 bunch chives
• 5 1 bunch parsley
• 6 Salt
• 7 Pepper
• Total weight: 295 grams

Times:

Preparation
35 min.

Step by step recipe

1	Mash 250 g cream cheese with a fork. If you have the energy, pass it through a sieve with a maryse. This is more work of course, but it will be much smoother.
2	In any case, you need to obtain a sort of paste.
3	Prepare 1 shallot and 1 garlic clove, then chop finely.
4	Wash 1 bunch chives and chop finely.
5	Do the same with 1 bunch parsley.
6	Tip all this into the cheese, salt lightly (how much will depend on the saltiness of the cheese you are using), pepper generously and mix well. Check seasoning.
7	Pack the mixture into ramekins, then cover with plastic film to protect from the air, and keep in the fridge.
8	Serve with good bread, toasted (how I like it best) or not.

Remarks

You can change the herbs to any you like, according to taste. Why not try coriander and chervil, for example, which is delicious.
For a stronger flavour, replace half the cream cheese with feta.
