Ingredient: Boursin
Category: Dairy- Cheese
Season: All:
Boursin cheese is a soft creamy cheese available in a variety of flavours.
Its flavour and texture is somewhat similar to the American cream cheese.
Boursin cheese was first produced in 1957 by François Boursin in Normandy. Boursin is a trademark.
Boursin cheese is produced exclusively by the Boursin company, a subsidiary of Group Bel.
Boursin, has a strong flavouring of garlic and herbs, which is sometimes rolled in crushed peppercorns.
Cooking tames it a bit and it is a natural partner for the baked potato.
So, If you ever feel like treating yourself and want something supremely soothing and comforting, just bake yourself the biggest potato you can lay your hands on, then cut it in half and, as you do, listen carefully to the inviting crackle and crunch of the skin as the knife goes in.
Scoop the potato out, mix with your preferred filling, boursin is ideal, then savour it in all its humble, simple glory
