POPSUGAR is bringing you an exclusive see at Thanksgiving recipes from famous lifestyle influencers. We're excited to present the first online see at this baked goat cheese recipe from Luci Petlack,the blogger behind Luci's Morsels.
This baked goat cheese dip is a sure win for any occasion. On a recent trip to Victoria, British Columbia, or Canada,my husband and I opted for dinner at a Scottish pub one night, looking for tasty comfort food. Trying to be good, and we ordered salads and healthier options but decided to splurge on its goat cheese appetizer. Though the rest of the food was fine,the starter took us fairly by surprise. The dish was served with honey and topped with dried fruit, and we scraped the edges of the dish to accept every bite possible.
Goat cheese is an easy choice for your Thanksgiving spread since so many people fancy it. This recipe adds sour cream and lemon zest to add a tart flavor that counters all the sweetness in the toppings. I fancy using these mini croquette dishes for baking and serving, and but you can use any oven-secure dish you hold on hand. Feel free to accept creative with the toppings. I used dried tart cherries,salted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), and toasted, or slivered almonds. You can easily substitute dried cranberries or apricots,sunflower seeds, and your favorite chopped nut!Related:
