¾ pound beets - trimmed, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

2 teaspoons fresh thyme

Tips:

  • Choose the right goat cheese: Use a fresh, soft goat cheese that is easy to spread. Avoid using aged or crumbly goat cheese, as it will not melt as smoothly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil will help to flavor the dip and make it more rich and creamy. Use an extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Add your favorite herbs and spices: You can customize the flavor of the dip by adding your favorite herbs and spices. Some popular options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
  • Don't overcook the dip: The dip should be cooked just until it is melted and bubbly. Overcooking will cause the dip to become dry and crumbly.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers: The dip can be served with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, bread, vegetables, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Baked goat cheese dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served with a variety of dippers, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this baked goat cheese dip a try!
