INGREDIENTS

  • 10.5 oz fresh goat cheese room temperature
  • 4 oz cream cheese room temperature, dairy-free if needed
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 Tablespoons hot honey plus more for drizzling
  • To serve: Toasted french baguette, pita chips, everything baked pretzels, dried fruits or fresh veggies

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender.
    10.5 oz fresh goat cheese, 4 oz cream cheese, 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary, 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add a splash of heavy cream, milk, or water to thin out the consistency to your liking.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and top with a drizzle of honey and more fresh herbs. Serve with your favorite veggies, bread, pretzels or bread.
    2 Tablespoons hot honey

Notes

Food Processor. Use a stand mixer or handheld mixer if you don't have a food process or blender.
Without the cream cheese. Add a couple splashes of water or milk or swap the cream cheese for Greek yogurt.
Dairy-free cream cheese. I tested this with Kite Hill dairy-free cream cheese and it worked well.
Toasted sourdough or french baguette. Place the sliced bread on a baking sheet and brush it generously with olive oil. Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes then broil on high for 3-4 minutes, watching carefully, until the bread is toasty and golden brown.
Everything Baked Pretzels. Toss 4-5 cups of pretzels with 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 2-3 Tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
*Nutrition information is for 2 ounces of goat cheese dip. It does not include veggies, bread or pretzels for dipping.
