Instructions
- Combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest and thyme leaves in a food processor. Whip for 60-90 seconds until smooth. Add the basil and pulse until green specks are throughout the mixture. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve with the crudités. Whipped goat cheese stores in the fridge for 7-10 days.
Notes
- You can use this as a dip along with some crudités or crackers! Or use it to slather on some toasted bread to make a sandwich with a tangy goat cheese flare. Or thin it out with some pasta water and fold it into some freshly cooked pasta. Dollop it on top of a warm grain bowl.
