Killer Goat Cheese Spread

By Danielle Nieman

This Killer Dip is stupid simple and insanely delicious! Plus, you’ll only need three components for this spread.

This post is all about how to serve a Killer Goat Cheese Dip they’ll never forget.

Last weekend, I wanted to try a new recipe and came across a Reddit thread where people were discussing killer dip recipes they had made. One person mentioned they used to work at a restaurant that served a goat cheese dip that was so simple to make and incredibly delicious.

The spread combines three components: goat cheese, cream cheese, and sundried tomato pesto sauce. They recommended serving it with crostini or crackers. I served mine with crackers, but next time I would go the extra mile and make crostini because this dip is hearty, and the bread would soak up all of the tasty flavors from the pesto.

Thank you to the person on Reddit who shared this yummy recipe. It’s definitely a new favorite of mine. Plus, this dip is so EASY to make. Enjoy it with your people and a crisp, cold bottle of Sauvignon Blanc!

How To Make Killer Goat Cheese Spread, Step-by-Step

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a shallow baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2: Combine the goat cheese and whipped cream cheese in a bowl. Add a splash of milk or whipping cream to loosen up the dip if you want. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3: Season the goat cheese mix with some salt and pepper. Adding fresh thyme is optional.

Step 4: Add the dip to the shallow dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Step 5: Remove the baked dip from the oven and generously and evenly cover the top with sundried tomato pesto sauce.

*Serve immediately with crostini or crackers. Pictured below are the Pita crackers I served it with. P.S. This dip still tastes amazing even after it has come to room temperature.

FAQs

Do I have to use sundried tomato pesto sauce for this dip recipe?

Per the person who shared this recipe on Reddit, you could substitute the sundried tomato pesto sauce for traditional basil pesto or use marinated artichoke hearts.

How can I make more or less of this dip?

As long as you use equal parts of cream cheese and goat cheese, you can make any amount you need. No matter how much you make, the top of the baked dip will still be covered generously with pesto sauce.
