Our Daily Recipe, Boursin and Bacon on Rustic Bread

Boursin and Bacon on Rustic Bread

I’m not too sure, how this came about but we have been making it since the early 1980’s, our nephew Dan might remember as he was always saying “Go on Aunty Maureen, just one more Please.”

He really loved Boursin cheese and his mother (My Sister Jayne) wasn’t all that happy as we were introducing him to expensive foods that were hard to obtain in Rishton, Lancashire back then.

However, whatever year it was it makes a superb lunch or supper dish, served with a tomato salad, and a chilled Chardonnay.
