Main Ingredients
- 1 package (5.2 ounces) Boursin Cheese, Garlic & Fine Herbs
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons Hot Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- Pinch of Salt
- Cracked Black Pepper, to taste
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully heat while you prepare the dip ingredients.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend together the Boursin cheese, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and 1 tablespoon of hot honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly oil a small baking dish with olive oil then transfer the cheese mixture into the dish, smoothing out the top evenly to ensure consistent baking.
- Assemble the Dish: Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of hot honey evenly over the top of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the chopped fresh thyme and a pinch of red pepper flakes on the surface for added flavor and color.
- Cook to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the edges are bubbly and the top has developed a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Finishing Touches: Remove the dip from the oven. Crack fresh black pepper over the top and add an extra drizzle of hot honey if desired for more sweetness and heat.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the hot dip warm alongside toasted bread, crackers, or sliced vegetables for dipping and sharing immediately.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of hot honey or red pepper flakes based on your preferred level of sweetness and spiciness.
- For a crispier top, broil the dip for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- This dip is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently without losing its creamy texture.
- Substitute fresh thyme with dried thyme if fresh is unavailable, using about half the quantity.
- Using full-fat cream cheese contributes to a richer, silkier dip texture.
