Pepper Jelly Goat Cheese Dip Recipe
Description
The recipe combines room-temperature goat cheese and cream cheese blended with honey, garlic, and sea salt until smooth and creamy. The mixture is spread in a baking dish, layered with pepper jelly, and baked briefly at 350°F just to warm and meld the flavors without causing the cheeses to separate or become grainy.
The topping of sweet pepper jelly adds a fruity heat that contrasts nicely with the creamy, tangy cheeses. Fresh scallions sprinkled on top add a mild onion bite and color. Serving it alongside crunchy cucumber slices or toasted crostini provides textural contrast and freshness.
This dip offers a rich yet balanced profile suitable for gatherings and appetizers that don't require complicated preparation but bring a harmonious blend of creamy, sweet, spicy, and fresh notes.

- 16 ounces goat cheese room temperature, creamy
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 2 tablespoons honey

- 4 cloves garlic minced or pressed
- 6 ounces pepper jelly
- 1/4 cup scallions chopped, whites and greens, divided
