Goat Cheese Dip

I’ve got a goat cheese dip recipe that’s slightly spicy, chock-full-of-vegetables and so bright and colorful to share with you today!

The recipe inspiration for this goat cheese dip comes from a favorite restaurant back in Wisconsin Dells, calledย High Rock.ย Their Gilly Goat appetizer is SO good, and I have to get it every time I visit the restaurant. And all those times I can’t visit the restaurant? I make my own (simplified!) version at home. I love when I can go out to a restaurant, and then come home and make a simplified version of a delicious meal.

In this easy goat cheese dip, peppers are sauteed with garlic and olive oil (smells SO good!) and then spooned over a log of goat cheese and scooped up with freshly sliced baguette. Or elevate your cheese platter with goat cheese topped with this dip!

You’ll love the bright and fresh flavors.
