Boursin Cheese Spread

This spread will absolutely guarantee you rock star status at the next party you serve it at. It is fabulously wonderful, and easy to make, though be forwarned, it makes a TON!
Boursin Cheese Spread
2 -8oz, pkgs. softened cream cheese
1/2 C. softened, unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. chopped sweet basil
1 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. dill weed
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. chives
1/8 tsp. parsley
(*all spices are dried)
Cream all ingredients together, and chill several hours before serving.
Serve with crackers, as stuffing for broiled mushrooms, or topping for baked potatoes. ( I actually mixed some in with eggs before cooking-very tasty).
NOTE: fresh herbs may be used instead of dry. Increase to 1 Tbsp. of each. This will keep in the refrigerator at least 2 weeks.

How timely that we're having a group of people over next week; they can be guinea pigs for this recipe. :)

It sounds delicious; can't wait to try it!
