Classic Boursin {the perfect little hosteess gift}




Happy December!!
One of my very favorite things to come up with every year is hostess gifts!!  They need to be simple, beautiful and budget.friendly.  This year's is one of my favorites to date.  The Classic Boursin cheese spread is an old favorite, but the packaging is a new obsession of mine.  The tin, the grey, the WHITE, and the wreath is just so lovely and Christmassy...minus the green and red.  BUT, if you need the green and red, a  velvet red bow and a sprig of greenery would be perfect!!

 Classic Boursin

Lisa Pearson

½ cup salted butter, room temperature
2  8oz. packages cream cheese, room temperature {full FAT}
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Start by blending the butter and the cream cheese together until it is nice and creamy. 
Add the spices and mix well.
Serve at room temperature with a few different kinds of crackers.

Sprinkle a bit of dill weed on top for a festive presentation!!

{I like using fresh garlic in this recipe, but to make it super fast and easy I opted for the granulated garlic this time!!}

I placed the Boursin into two small paper soup containers, then packaged two different kinds of crackers into crisp cello bags.  The cheese spread will keep for quite a while in the fridge and the crackers will stay fresh for a long time, too!!
