Your Turn To Create

For Pan-seared Asparagus
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. of olive oil in a sauté pan over med high heat.
  • Add asparagus. Begin to sear the asparagus much like you would a piece of fish, trying to achieve some color.
  • Add 1 Tbsp. of butter and the clove of garlic and continue to cook, allowing the butter to brown. Flip the asparagus and finish cooking.
  • Remove the asparagus to a plate and season with course salt. Set aside.
  • Add the remaining butter to the pan and cook until the butter has browned.
  • Add the lemon juice and continue to move and swirl the pan, slightly cooking the sauce. Add salt and spoon as much for the asparagus as you like.
  • Place a large spoonful of the Boursin chantilly on the asparagus, top with herbs, flowers, and drizzle of olive oil and a few grains of the Fleur de sel.
For the Boursin Chantilly
  • In a chilled clean bowl, whip 7 oz of the heavy cream to medium stiff peaks.
  • Crumble the Boursin® cheese into the cream along with the salt.
