Hot Honey Cheese Dip with Whipped Goat Cheese in 20 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Infuse the honey. In a small saucepan over medium low heat, combine the 0.5 cup clover honey, 2 tsp red pepper flakes, and the fresh thyme sprig.
2. Watch for the foam. Heat the mixture until the honey begins to foam slightly at the edges (3–4 minutes). Note: Heating it too long will result in a candy like texture that gets too hard when it cools.
3. Steep and finish. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, and let it steep for 10 minutes. Until the aroma is deeply spicy and herbal.
4. Strain the liquid. Pour the honey through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar. Discard the solids.
5. Combine the base. Place 8 oz softened cream cheese, 4 oz goat cheese, and 0.25 cup Greek yogurt into your food processor.
6. Whip it well. Process on high for 2–3 minutes, scraping down the sides once. Until the mixture is glossy and increased in volume.
7. Prep for serving. Use a spatula to spread the whipped cheese into a shallow bowl, creating a few well patterns with the back of a spoon.
8. The final drizzle. Pour the prepared hot honey generously over the cheese.
9. Garnish and serve. Finish with 1 tsp lemon zest and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Until the surface looks vibrant and glistening.
