Amazing on sandwiches-roasted veggies & Boursin on multigrain bread. Turkey, lettuce & Boursin. Paninis, Wraps, on bread, crackers, and veggies, mashed cauliflower or potatoes, omelettes and Pizza!

Be creative and customize the flavors.
sweet cheese for a fruit tray-mix dried currants, minced walnuts, and a dash of cinnamon.
Dress up grilled chicken breasts-sun-dried tomato and basil spread.
Cheese and cracker tray-mix a tablespoon or two of red wine into the spread, form the cheese in a ball, and roll it either in fresh minced parsley or finely chopped pecans. The possibilities are endless.

Ingredients

• Base:
• 4 oz Greek (or Greek-style) yogurt
• 4 oz Neufchatel cheese (any kind of cream cheese will do, but I like Neufchatel because it’s got 1/3 less fat than regular cream cheese)
• Flavorings (use anything you like, such as herbs, spices, dried fruits, nuts, etc.):
• 2 TB fresh minced chives
• ½ tsp garlic powder

Preparation

Step 1
