Ellen's Boursin

8 oz Cream cheese
2 Garlic cloves, peeled
1 tb Fresh basil
1 tb Fresh dill
1 tb Fresh chives
6 Black olives, pitted

The author writes: "Boursin is generally served as an appetizer spread on crackers, or stuffed into cherry tomatoes, but sometimes we make roast beef sandwiches with a layer of boursin as a base." Blend cream cheese, garlic and herbs in a food processor until smooth. Chop in olives. Transfer to a small bowl and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Chili Spiced Cream Cheese from Canyon Cafe

I asked my server and was told it was simply a mix of picante sauce and cream cheese. Nothing tricky, just blend the two.
