Bacon Boursin Green Beans
I saw this recipe for bacon Boursin green beans on The Endless Meal and how could I possibly resist? I couldn’t. My son is a huge fan of Boursin cheese and I knew he would love these tasty green beans and he did! These decadent and delicious bacon Boursin green beans paired nicely with slow-roasted beef and garlic cream cheese mashed potatoes.
Bacon Boursin Green Beans
Ingredients:
- 1 strip of bacon, cooked & crumbled
- ½ lb. green beans, washed and trimmed
- 1 tbsp Boursin cheese, plus extra for serving
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
How to Make Bacon Boursin Green Beans
Place bacon in a sauté pan over medium heat and cook until it is cooked through and crispy. Place on paper towels to drain then crumble; set aside.
Drain all but 1 teaspoon of the bacon fat from the pan. Add the green beans to the pan along with 2 tbsp of water. Cover the pan with a lid and let it steam for 5 minutes, until crisp-tender.
Remove the lid and sauté the beans for about 2 more minutes. Add the Boursin cheese to the pan and toss to coat. It should melt fairly quickly.
Season the beans with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste then top with bacon crumbles and little bits of extra Boursin cheese. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Very tasty side dish and so easy and quick to make!
i haven’t tried boursin before! i love green beans as a quick and tasty side, though. plus, you know, there’s bacon in there. nice dish!
Yum! I love Boursin and everything about this dish!
Bacon and Boursin makes everything better.
My son has a hard time eating his veggies but I am thinking if I make these he night eat them. Bacon and Cheese? Sign me up!
Oh, they look just wonderful! What’s not to love when bacon is involved? I’m glad your daughter enjoyed them, too.
I am a fan of boursin also. I have to try this on the beans.
What a positively splendid way to fix green beans without overwhelming the bean flavor. Each flavor is distinct and sings its own note in the dish. I like it.
Look so good Pam!
A very healthy and tasty side dish!
Who could resist this?! I love anything covered in boursin.
Boursin is amazing stuff but I haven’t had it in maybe a year. Never thought to throw it in with green beans but will try that. My favorite is either stuffed into a roulade, in a cheese sauce for steamed veggies, or in mashed potatoes…..or in a pinch straight off of the spoon 🙂
