Spring Vegetable and Goat Cheese Dip image

We've put a spring spin on the spinach-artichoke dip, starring asparagus, just-dug-up leeks, sweet peas, and fresh goat cheese. Serve it with crostini, tortilla chips, or crudités. Or just eat it by the spoonful. It's that good.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup 3/4"-inch pieces asparagus
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup chopped leeks (white and pale-green parts only)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 cup grated mild white cheddar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 14-ounce can chopped artichoke hearts in water, drained
1/4 cup fresh (or frozen, thawed) peas
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
4 ounces crumbled fresh goat cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Cook asparagus in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain; let cool.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 10 minutes. Whisk in flour; gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened; remove from heat. Add cheddar; whisk until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fold in asparagus (reserve tips), artichoke hearts, peas, chives, mint, flat-leaf parsley, zest and 2 ounces crumbled fresh goat cheese.
  • Transfer mixture to a 4-5-cup baking dish; arrange asparagus tips on top and dot with another 2 ounces goat cheese. Bake until golden brown and bubbling, 15-20 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

This dip is a great make-ahead appetizer. I like to make it the day before a party so I can relax and enjoy my guests.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This dip is a bit too rich for me. I think I'll use less goat cheese next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dip turned out grainy. I think I over-processed the vegetables.

This dip is a bit too bland for my taste. I added some minced garlic and a pinch of cayenne pepper to spice it up.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I used cream cheese instead. It was still delicious!

This dip is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bag of frozen peas and carrots in my freezer, so I can make this dip anytime I want.

The leftovers of this dip are just as good as the fresh batch. I like to store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I used a food processor to chop the vegetables and it made the dip really smooth. It was a great way to get a uniform texture.
