This baked goat cheese dip appetizer is CRAZY easy to make, and it’s sure to impress every taste bud it meets. If you ask me, few things are better than goat cheese, but when you heat it up and combine it with a bunch of other savory flavors…it’s even better!!!
It’s become one of my my go-to appetizers for get togethers because it’s so quick and easy, and it’s always gobbled up in no time. Can’t say I’m surprised though…When you use three types of cheese and combine garlic and other good stuff it’s bound to be delicious! Then you dip crackers and other crunchy foods into it and it’s even better!
You can serve it with a whole bunch of different things on the side and make it as spicy or as mild as you’d like. Gotta love the versatility!
You can be pretty loosie-goosie with most of these ingredients & still end up with a delicious dip. So, if you want a little more cream cheese & less goat cheese, go for it. Or if you want it spicier, go ahead & add more red pepper flakes. Etc etc etc.

Baked Goat Cheese Dip
If you’re searching for the perfect party appetizer, I’ve got you covered! I recently brought this baked goat cheese dip to a dinner party, & my friends loved it.
ingredients:
4 oz. room-temperature cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
2 tbsp. olive oil
4-6 cloves minced garlic
1-2 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary (plus more for the garnish)
1/2 tsp. salt
instructions
Combine the goat cheese and all other ingredients (either by hand or with a food processor) until everything is well-incorporated, and transfer to an oven-safe dish.
Then bake for 15-20 minutes, then the top will start to brown & get nice and bubbly. I baked mine for 18 minutes.
Finally, I like to top my finished dish with a bit of extra rosemary for a garnish. Then serve with bread, crackers, chips, or just eat it with your fingers! 😏
Hope you love it!

Chelsea, do you have a brand of goat cheese you like to use in your baked goat cheese dip?
Thank you,
Wanda
Hi Wanda!
Most any goat cheese will do. I usually buy the Signature Kitchens brand or the Sensations brand from Safeway.
Hope that helps!
Can I freeze this for emergency unexpected guests?
Hi Laura!
Thanks for your question!
I’ve never tried freezing it so I can’t say for sure. You CAN freeze goat cheese on its own (as long as it’s tightly wrapped) but I am not sure about freezing all of the ingredients once they’re combined.
Luckily, this can be thrown together in a couple minutes so hopefully that comes in handy for unexpected guests! I will let you know if I ever try freezing it.
Thanks again for your question and for reading this post!
