If you’re ever in need of an easy, 10 minute dip recipe that tastes like a charcuterie board with none of the work — I’ve got you covered with Warm Fig and Prosciutto Goat Cheese Dip!

Easy Warm Goat Cheese Dip

This goat cheese dip is a riff on my husband’s and my Fig and Prosciutto Rollups. We like the dip version better though because our marriage isn’t put on the line each time we make it together. I say this because we inevitably find ourselves wildly assembling the rollups 5 minutes before leaving for whatever party we’re taking them to in a rather unfriendly manner:

Me: Can you spread goat cheese faster? We’re going to be late. (I HATE being late.)

Him: Can YOU stop eating all the prosciutto? We’ll have nothing left to take to the party!

Stare off ensues.

That is to say, this warm baked dip is a breeze (and practically a marriage-saver!) ;)

Fold softened goat cheese and cream cheese with chopped prosciutto then spread into a baking dish. Dollop with fig jam then bake for 10 minutes and top with chopped pistachios.

Cheesy, sweet, and savory – so good! Like a cheese plate in dip form.

Not only is Warm Fig and Prosciutto Goat Cheese Dip great to set out for family and friends at home, but it’s best served warm vs piping hot so it travels well. Slap some foil on that baby and become the guest with the best appetizer at the next party or holiday potluck you attend.

How to Make This Recipe

Start by adding softened goat cheese (chevre) and softened 1/3 less fat cream cheese to the bowl of a food processor then process until smooth.

Recipe Tip

If you don’t have a food processor, use an electric stand mixer or a hand held mixer to whip the goat cheese and cream cheese together until smooth.

Scoop the whipped cheeses into a bowl if you used a food processor then fold in chopped prosciutto. La Quercia is my go-to prosciutto for pairing with cheese and crackers but you can save yourself a few bucks and go with a less expensive brand for this recipe since it’s mixed into the dip.

Scoop the cheese and prosciutto mixture into the bottom of a 9″x7″x2″ baking dish (or any similar sized baking dish – a pie pan works great too) then spread fig jam on top.
