2. Combine Ingredients: In the bowl of a food processor, add the cream cheese, lemon juice, garlic clove, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, fresh parsley, and fresh chives.

3. Process: Secure the lid on the food processor and process the ingredients until they are well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed to ensure all ingredients are incorporated evenly.

4. Incorporate Fresh Herbs: Once the base mixture is smooth, add the fresh herbs of your choice. This could include dill, thyme, basil, or a combination of your favorite herbs. These fresh herbs will add vibrant flavor and color to the Boursin cheese.

5. Blend Again: Pulse the food processor a few more times to incorporate the fresh herbs into the cheese mixture. Be careful not to over-process; you want the herbs to be evenly distributed but still retain some texture.

6. Chill: Transfer the Boursin cheese to a serving bowl or container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and for the cheese to firm up slightly.

7. Serve: Once chilled, the Boursin cheese is ready to serve. Enjoy it as a spread on crackers or bread, as a filling for cherry tomatoes or celery sticks, or as a flavorful addition to sandwiches and wraps.

8. Storage: Store any leftover Boursin cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for several days, allowing you to enjoy its creamy goodness whenever the craving strikes.

Tips:

• For added convenience, you can prepare the Boursin cheese ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Experiment with different combinations of fresh herbs to customize the flavor of your Boursin cheese to your liking.
• If you don’t have a food processor, you can also mix the ingredients by hand using a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon, although the texture may not be as smooth.
• Serve the Boursin cheese with an assortment of accompaniments such as sliced vegetables, cured meats, olives, and nuts for a delightful cheese board experience.
