Portobello Panini with Herbed Cream Cheese

One of my favorite cheeses is Boursin. I would put it on everything from crackers to burgers and chicken. It also tastes amazing with bacon! Tofutti makes this great Herbs & Chives cream cheese that comes close to the real thing. Often it’s hard to find in grocery stores so I usually just make my own. Paired with portobello mushrooms seasoned with the same spices makes for a nice little sandwich!
