This rich, creamy spread goes well with a baguette or crackers and a glass of fruity Beaujolais but it has many other uses as well. To reduce fat and calories, reduced fat cottage cheese and reduced-fat cream cheese may be substituted. 1) Spread on Roma or plum tomato halves. Serve cold, or bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes; then broil until bubbly. 2) Combine 1-cup Boursin and 1/2 cup milk. Toss with 12 ounces hot pasta. 3)Spoon Boursin (not the low-fat version) into pastry bag, and pipe onto cucumber slices or Belgian endive leaves. 4) Spread 1 tablespoon under skin of chicken breast or 1 teaspoon over boneless, skinless chicken breast before baking. 5) Spoon onto baked potatoes, or stir into mashed potatoes. 6) Use as a sandwich spread in place of mayonnaise.

BOURSIN CHEESE SPREAD

Wonderful addition to crackers. The store bought is so limited in it's flavors and a bit on the expensive side. I like to mix up the herbs so the boursin is a bit different each time that I make it. Boursin is great on baked potatoes for a change in topping from sour cream.
