Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz goat cheese (room temp)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 bundle fresh basil (plus a little more for topping)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp hot honey (plus more for drizzling on top)
  • 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
  • Optional: chili flakes & lemon zest

Method
 

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine goat cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, basil, hot honey, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  1. Spoon the mixture into a shallow serving bowl and use the back of your spoon to create swoops.
  1. Drizzle with more hot honey, then sprinkle pistachios, chili flakes, lemon zest, and extra basil on top.
  1. Serve immediately or chill for later. Warm it in the microwave in 15-second increments if you want it soft and melty. If the dip feels too thick, add a splash of milk or extra olive oil to loosen it up.

Notes

  • For a more intense flavor, let the dip chill for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Use high-quality olive oil and fresh basil for the best taste.
  • If you don't have hot honey, mix regular honey with a pinch of chili flakes as a substitute.
