Baked Goat Cheese Dip
Description
This dip features a blend of sautéed white onion, garlic, and cherry tomatoes seasoned with oregano and pepper flakes, all baked together with a whole piece of goat cheese until bubbling and golden. The goat cheese softens to a creamy texture surrounded by the slightly sweet and savory roasted tomatoes and onions. The dish is finished with a drizzle of olive oil infused with fresh oregano and basil, along with honey for a subtle sweetness contrast.
For serving, bread is sliced thin, brushed with olive oil and fresh garlic, then toasted in the oven until crisp, providing a sturdy and flavorful accompaniment to the warm dip. The combination of textures between the creamy cheese dip and crunchy bread makes it satisfying as an appetizer or light snack.
The notes suggest using vegan cheese substitutes if desired and stress the use of fresh herbs in the finishing oil to maintain brightness and fragrance in the dish.
