Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces soft goat cheese (chèvre), room temperature
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey, for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon chopped toasted nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Place the room temperature goat cheese, heavy cream, olive oil, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a food processor.
- Process the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides. Continue processing until the cheese is completely smooth and light, resembling a thick frosting.
- Transfer the whipped goat cheese spread to a shallow serving bowl.
- Drizzle the top evenly with the honey.
- Sprinkle with toasted nuts, if using.
- Serve immediately with crackers, crostini, or fresh vegetable sticks for an easy goat cheese appetizer.
Notes
- For a savory sweet goat cheese flavor, substitute the honey with a balsamic glaze.
- If you do not have a food processor, you can use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, but the texture may take slightly longer to become fully smooth.
- This creamy goat cheese spread keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Let it warm slightly before serving for the best texture.
