Description
This warm goat cheese and fig dip is the perfect appetizer for any gathering, featuring creamy cheeses, savory prosciutto, and sweet fig jam.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz goat cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 4 oz 1/3 less-fat cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 3 — 4 oz prosciutto (chopped)
- 1 cup fig jam
- 2 Tablespoons chopped pistachios
- Crackers (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Add the softened goat cheese and cream cheese to the bowl of a food processor then process until smooth. Alternatively you can beat the cheeses together in an electric stand mixer, or large glass bowl if using a hand-held mixer.
- Scoop the creamed cheeses into a mixing bowl then add the chopped prosciutto and fold to combine.
- Spread the mixture into a 9″x7″x2″ baking dish (or similar sized dish – a pie pan also works) then spread the fig jam on top.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until warmed through, then sprinkle chopped pistachios on top and serve with crackers.
- This dip is best warm or even room temperature vs piping hot.
Notes
- For a twist, try using different types of cheese.
- Serve with a variety of crackers and sliced vegetables for dipping.
