This baked Goat Cheese Dip recipe is perfect for parties. It has bold and balanced flavors that are sure to feed a crowd. I like to make this for Super Bowl parties or as an appetizer during Thanksgiving or Christmas. It’s hands down my favorite goat cheese appetizer.

Ingredients
- 10 ounce plain goat cheese
- 8 ounce softened cream cheese
- 3 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 lices slices of bacon chopped
- 8 dates chopped
- ¼ cup roasted pecans chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prepare a 20 ounce baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, milk, salt and pepper and pulse in two second intervals until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer to a prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven, uncovered for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the mixture appears slightly raised.
- While the goat cheese is baking, prepare the topping by cooking the bacon in a large skillet until crispy.
- Drain off the fat and return the bacon to the skillet with the dates, pecans, honey and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
- Transfer the honey glazed bacon, dates and pecans to the top of the baked goat cheese.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with sliced crusty bread, crackers, or other favorite dippers.
Notes
- Let the dip rest after baking: Allow the cheese dip to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will let it set so it’s easier to dip.
- Keep a close eye while it bakes: Ovens can vary so make sure that the goat cheese is getting too browned as it bakes.
- Don’t warm it ahead of time: If you don’t plan to eat this dip right away, don’t bake it until you’re ready for the best texture.
