Ingredients

Scale

Cheeses

  • 8 ounces goat cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)

Herbs and Vegetables

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained)
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Blend Cheeses and Olive Oil: Add the goat cheese, cream cheese, and olive oil to a food processor and pulse until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined, creating the base for your dip.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the chopped chives, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and minced garlic to the processor. Blend again until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times to ensure even blending.
  3. Season to Taste: Season the dip with salt and pepper according to your preference. Adjust any ingredients, such as adding more chives or basil, to enhance the flavor as needed.
  4. Chill and Serve: Serve the dip immediately or refrigerate it for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Before serving, bring the dip to room temperature to enjoy its full creamy texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For best flavor, allow the dip to come to room temperature before serving.
  • Use high-quality olive oil for a richer taste.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil usually work best, just be sure to drain excess oil.
  • Can be served with crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted baguette slices.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
