Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 10 oz creamy goat cheese log
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt - might need up to ½ cup
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Topping Options
- Red pepper jelly or mixed berry jam
- Chopped nuts like chopped candied pecans or toasted almond slices
- Spicy honey or regular honey
- Fresh herbs like finely chopped rosemary parsley or chives
- lemon zest
- black pepper
- flakey sea salt
Instructions
- Add goat cheese, yogurt, and honey to a food processor. Zest a lemon into the food processor until you have about 1 tsp of zest.
- Run the food processor to combine the ingredients and whip the goat cheese. Test for thickness of dip - some like it thicker than others. If you prefer it to be thinner add up to ¼ cup more of yogurt and run the food processor again.
- Spread the smooth whipped dip into a serving bowl. I like to use 2 bowls so I can vary the toppings.
- If serving immediately, add whatever toppings you like. I usually do one with spice honey, lemon zest, black pepper and parlsey. On the other one I use red peppery jelly, chopped candied pecans and fresh rosemary - this one is perfect for the holidays! I also like it with mixed berry jam and toasted almond slices.
- If serving later, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator without toppings. Spread into a bowl and add toppings just before serving.

Notes
- You can store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
