This Hot Honey and Bacon Whipped Goat Cheese recipe offers a delightful blend of creamy, tangy goat cheese whipped to fluffy perfection, topped with crispy bacon, fresh green onions, and a sweet-spicy drizzle of hot honey. It’s an irresistible appetizer, perfect for serving with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 11 ounces goat cheese, softened
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Hot honey, for drizzling
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • Crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables, for serving

Instructions

  1. Soften the Goat Cheese: Allow the goat cheese to sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes to slightly soften. This makes whipping easier and results in a smoother texture.
  2. Whip the Goat Cheese: Place the softened goat cheese in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until the cheese is completely creamy and whipped, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even texture.
  3. Assemble the Dish: Spread the whipped goat cheese on a plate or shallow bowl in an even layer. Drizzle hot honey generously over the surface according to your preferred spice and sweetness level.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled crispy bacon and thinly sliced green onions evenly over the honey-drizzled goat cheese.
  5. Season: Finish with a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper to add a subtle spicy kick that brightens the flavors.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately with your choice of crackers, chips, or vegetable sticks for dipping and spreading.

Notes

  • Letting the goat cheese soften slightly at room temperature ensures a smoother whip but do not leave out too long to avoid spoilage.
  • For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of hot honey or select a less spicy brand.
  • Crisp the bacon well to add a crunchy texture contrast.
  • This whipped goat cheese spread can be prepared in advance and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Try pairing with crusty bread or pretzel chips for different serving options.
