　　Here's a DIY version of the flavored, spreadable Gournay cheese originally from France.

　　

Ingredients

Makes about 1 cup

　　8 ounces cream cheese, softened

　　2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

　　1 small garlic clove, quartered

　　1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

　　1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves

　　1 tablespoon chopped chives

　　Crackers or toasts (for serving)

　　

Step 1

Combine cream cheese, butter, garlic, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Add parsley and chives and pulse a few times until well combined. Pack mixture into a small bowl, ramekin, or glass jar. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes. Serve with crackers or toasts.

　　

Do Ahead

Step 2

Cheese can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.

　　Cooks' Note

　　To add a citrus note to the cheese, incorporate 1/8 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest with the herbs. Or add 1/8 teaspoon (or more) freshly ground black pepper for a little spice.
