Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 1 package (5.2 ounces) Boursin Cheese, Garlic & Fine Herbs
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Hot Honey (divided)
Additional Ingredients
- 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) and allow it to reach the full temperature while you prepare the dip.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend together the Boursin cheese, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and 1 tablespoon of hot honey until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly brush or oil a small baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote browning. Transfer the cheese mixture into the dish, smoothing out the top evenly.
- Assemble the Dish: Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of hot honey on top of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle chopped fresh thyme and red pepper flakes evenly over the surface for added flavor and color.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges bubble and the top becomes golden and inviting.
- Finishing Touches: Once baked, crack fresh black pepper over the top to enhance flavor, and add an extra drizzle of hot honey if desired for an additional sweet-spicy kick.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the dip warm with toasted bread, crackers, or sliced fresh vegetables for dipping, making it a crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for gatherings.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of hot honey based on your preferred level of sweetness and heat.
- For extra heat, increase the red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- The dip is best served fresh and warm but can be reheated gently in the oven if needed.
- Use a small baking dish (about 6×6 inches) to ensure the dip is spread evenly for uniform baking.
- Substitute fresh thyme with dried thyme if fresh is unavailable, using about half the amount.
