Warm Goat Cheese Dip with Sun-Dried Tomatoes:
In the coming months, I plan to host a dip party. It’s like a potluck, but everyone brings a different dip recipe. There will appetizer dips, main-course dips, and dessert dips! Doesn’t that sound fun and delicious!?
You know I love dip (Click here for some of my favorite recipes.), so I couldn’t resist adding another to my collection. This Warm Goat Cheese Dip with Sun-Dried Tomatoes is a delightful combination of several of my favorite ingredients.
I also like a quick recipe that I can whip together with things I have on hand, and this Warm Goat Cheese could certainly be one of those dishes. It’s made with goat cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil. What a great bunch of flavors!
How to Make Warm Goat Cheese Dip:
As I mentioned above, this recipe comes together quickly.
You start by putting the cheeses, olive oil, and pepper in a bowl. Then, using an electric mixer, you whip it all together. You could do this by hand, but an electric mixer will give you smoother results.
Next, spoon the cheese mixture into a baking dish and pop it in the oven for about 25 minutes or until heated through.
While the mixture bakes, press the sun-dried tomatoes between a couple of paper towels. Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes are the best because of their texture and flavor, but you don’t want the extra oil in this recipe.
Once your Warm Goat Cheese Dip is hot, top it with the sun-dried tomatoes and julienned fresh basil leaves.
Serve with toasted baguette slices or Triscuit crackers.
Voila! Your Warm Goat Cheese Dip with Sun-Dried Tomatoes is complete.
Can I substitute with feta cheese?
One other thing: I often hear that people want to substitute feta cheese for goat cheese. This is something I don’t recommend in most cases. The two types of cheese have very different flavor profiles and textures. If you think you don’t like goat cheese, I recommend giving it a try, especially in a recipe like this. I think you’ll quickly become a fan.

I made this dip last night for our annual Friendsgiving dinner! Not only was it ridiculously easy but it was delicious! Everyone loved it and said it was a keeper! Thank you for a great dip!
Yumm this looks too easy! My dad really dislikes sun-dried tomatoes, although I love them! What else would you recommend to keep it flavorful and festive still?
Does he like tomatoes at all? Maybe like a bruschetta? Or even roasted red peppers?

Hi, Michael. I want to make this dip for Thanksgiving. I have never had goat’s cheese before. What type of consistancy does it have when blended? Just so I know what to expect. Is it more of a ricotta type? Im so curious.
That looks amazing! I wish I lived close so I could invite myself to your dip party! HA!
Michael, this looks insanely delicious. I am definitely going to make it this winter!
This dip looks perfect for fall and winter. Can’t wait to try it!
It really is a cozy dip! Thank you!!
