Ingredients
Cheese Mixture
- 1 package (5.2 ounces) Boursin Cheese, Garlic & Fine Herbs
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Flavorings and Toppings
- 2 tablespoons Hot Honey (divided)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- Pinch of Salt
- Cracked Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature while you prepare the dip.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the Boursin cheese, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and 1 tablespoon of hot honey until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly oil a small baking dish with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking and to help the top brown. Transfer the cheese mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top.
- Assemble the Dish: Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of hot honey over the surface of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the chopped fresh thyme and a pinch of red pepper flakes evenly on top for extra flavor and a touch of heat.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake the dip for 15–18 minutes until the edges are bubbly and the top turns golden and slightly browned.
- Finishing Touches: Remove the dish from the oven and crack fresh black pepper over the top. Optionally, drizzle a little more hot honey for added sweetness and spice.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the dip warm alongside toasted bread, crackers, or sliced vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of hot honey and red pepper flakes depending on your spice preference.
- This dip is best enjoyed fresh and warm from the oven but can be reheated gently if needed.
- Substitute different fresh herbs like rosemary or oregano if thyme isn't available.
- For a gluten-free option, serve with gluten-free crackers or veggie sticks.
- Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
