Ingredients

Scale

Whipped Goat Cheese Base

  • 11 ounces goat cheese, softened

Toppings

  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Hot honey, for drizzling
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Serving Suggestions

  • Crackers
  • Chips
  • Vegetable sticks (carrots, celery, cucumber)

Instructions

  1. Soften the goat cheese: Let the goat cheese sit out at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes to slightly soften it, which makes it easier to whip and gives a smoother texture.
  2. Whip the goat cheese: Place the softened goat cheese in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until the cheese is completely creamy and whipped, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even texture.
  3. Assemble the dish: Spread the whipped goat cheese evenly onto a serving plate or shallow bowl.
  4. Add toppings: Drizzle hot honey generously over the goat cheese, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon and thinly sliced green onions on top. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cracked black pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Present immediately with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping or spreading.

Notes

  • For softer goat cheese, allow it to rest at room temperature longer before whipping.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey depending on your spice and sweetness preference.
  • Bacon can be cooked in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • This dish is best served fresh but can be chilled briefly before serving.
  • Try using flavored hot honey for an extra twist.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
