Crispy Baked Boursin-The Short Answer
Ingredients
- 5.2 oz of Boursin Cheese (garlic and herb for the best flavor, this is the key ingredient for a creamy and rich taste)
- 1⁄4 cup flour (helps to create a light, crispy coating around the cheese)
- 1⁄4 cup panko bread crumbs (provides the perfect crunch, ensuring the cheese is crispy enough)
- 1 egg, beaten (binds the breading to the cheese for a golden crust)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (adds an aromatic herbal flavor to the crust)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (brings an earthy, fragrant note that complements the cheese)
- Salt and pepper to taste (season to enhance the overall flavor)
- 1/2 cup honey (adds a touch of sweetness that balances the savory and spicy notes)
- 3 sprigs rosemary (top the dish with rosemary for a fresh, aromatic finish)
- Olive oil spray (spray lightly over the breading to help it crisp up during baking)
- Serve on thinly sliced baguette (for a delightful, crunchy base that holds the cheese beautifully)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 410 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Set out three bowls:
- One with flour.
- One with Panko seasoned with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- One with a beaten egg.
Coat the Boursin cheese in flour, dip it into the egg, then cover it with Panko.
Place the coated cheese on the baking sheet or an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Broil for a minute if needed.
Drizzle with honey, garnish with rosemary, and serve with:
- Pita chips.
- Cheese board.
- Warm baguette.
Add extra honey for extra sweetness.
Optionally, spray with olive oil spray for crispiness.
Let the cheese crack open slightly for a delicious finish.

FAQ’s
Will the baked boursin cheese turn into a gooey mess on the baking sheet?
No! Boursin cheese melts but stays compact, like goat cheese, without spreading across the baking sheet.
What’s the perfect side to serve with crispy baked boursin?
I recommend serving it with sliced baguette or ciabatta. The panko already adds a cracker consistency, so crackers aren’t necessary.
Can I prepare crispy baked boursin ahead of time?
It’s best baked fresh. You can prep the flour, beaten egg, and panko with herbs in advance for quick assembly.
Should I add extra honey for that perfect bite?
Yes! I love serving extra honey on the side for guests to drizzle over, enhancing the herby richness of the cheese.
