Ingredients
- 8 oz Goat cheese
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 whole bulb Garlic
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream (optional, for consistency)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Cut off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil.
Step 3
Roast the garlic in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Allow to cool.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, lemon juice, remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste using a fork. Add to the cheese mixture.
Step 6
Chop the parsley and thyme finely, then stir them into the dip.
Step 7
Mix everything until smooth. If the dip is too thick, add heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve with crackers, bread, or veggies.
