Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces soft goat cheese (chèvre), room temperature
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon honey, plus extra for drizzling
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Instructions
Place the room temperature goat cheese, heavy cream, olive oil, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a food processor.
Process the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the cheese is completely smooth and airy.
Transfer the whipped goat cheese to a small serving bowl.
Drizzle the top evenly with 1 tablespoon of honey and sprinkle with the chopped fresh thyme leaves.
Serve immediately with crackers, crostini, or fresh vegetables for an easy appetizer.
Notes
For a festive holiday appetizer, substitute the thyme with finely chopped rosemary or top with dried cranberries and toasted walnuts.
If you do not have a food processor, you can use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, but you may need to beat the mixture longer to achieve maximum creaminess.
This creamy goat cheese dip keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for the best texture.
