Creamy Whipped Goat Cheese Dip with Honey and Herbs
In this recipe the rich goat cheese is whipped together to create a beautiful texture and combined with raw honey and fresh sage, then garnished with sliced almonds and a few grilled pears. It comes together in just a few minutes, and it will no doubt impress your guests.
On your cutting board, chop the sage or the fresh herb you're using.
Place the goat cheese log, honey and the sage into the bowl of a food processor.
Process on high speed until combined and creamy, about 3-4 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
Transfer the cheese mixture from the food processor to a serving bowl.
Smooth out the top with your spatula. Garnish with sliced almonds and a few pieces of grilled pear and serve with toasted crostini bread.
Notes
If the mixture becomes too soft, I like to pop it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving. Be careful not to chill it so much that it gets stiff. The dip is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
If the cheese mixture is too stiff, try adding just a touch of milk or olive oil to loosen it up. But be careful, it doesn't take much to make it too runny!
