Cheese Base
- 1 package (5.2 ounces) Boursin Cheese, Garlic & Fine Herbs
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella
Flavorings & Toppings
- 2 tablespoons Hot Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- Pinch of Salt
- Cracked Black Pepper, to taste
- Preheat Your Equipment: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the dip.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the Boursin cheese, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and 1 tablespoon of the hot honey until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly oil a small baking dish with the olive oil to prevent sticking, then transfer the cheese mixture into the dish, smoothing out the surface evenly.
- Assemble the Dish: Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of hot honey evenly over the top of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the chopped fresh thyme and a pinch of red pepper flakes for added flavor and color.
- Cook to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges are bubbly and the top has a beautiful golden brown color.
- Finishing Touches: Once baked, crack fresh black pepper over the top to enhance the flavor. Optionally, add an extra drizzle of hot honey for additional sweetness and spice.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the dip warm alongside toasted bread, crackers, or sliced vegetables for dipping and sharing.
Notes
- Use fresh thyme for best flavor; dried thyme can be substituted but use about half the amount.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey depending on your preferred level of sweetness and spice.
- The red pepper flakes are optional but recommended if you want an extra kick of heat.
- For a crunchier texture, serve with toasted baguette slices or pita chips.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
