Like a Boursin with garlic and herbs

Like a Boursin with garlic and herbs
It is quite easy to make your own garlic and herb cream cheese, rather like the well-know Boursin. It's fresh, much better, of course, and delicious, especially with a piece of toast.

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.
And to drink?
An easy-drinking white wine like a Muscadet.
