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.

Pin ItThat 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.
Bake the dip for 8-10 minutes then sprinkle chopped pistachios on top and serve with crackers. So easy, right? I hope you love this delicious, sweet and savory dip — enjoy!

Made this for an appetizer during a football party. It was GONE. In like 10 minutes. Great combination of flavors, and so pretty!
Awesome!!! So glad everyone love it, Whitney! Thanks so much for your recipe rating!
RAVE reviews at my book club last night! Leftovers are also a hit at work today!
LOVE! Thanks so much for your feedback, Ann – I’m so glad it was a hit!
Hi Kristin…where do you find your fig jam? I’ve checked Hy-Vee Windsor Heights, Hy-Vee Johnston, and Fareway Urbandale. No luck. :(
Also, do you find it in the regular PBJ aisle, or is it a specialty item in produce?
Thanks!
Hi Debbie! Check in the speciality cheese counter by the deli – they have a few options there!
nice dip, love the prosciutto with fig, really creative mix of ingredients, thank you for this recipe!
I hope you love it, Sabrina!
I was desperate on Friday afternoon when I realized I was supposed to bring an app to a party. I had ten minutes to grocery shop and ten minutes to put something together. This was a HUGE hit. They scraped the plate clean! Thank you!!
That makes me soooo happy, Erin!! Thank you so much for leaving your feedback!!
Where did you find Fig Jam? I want to make this on Thanksgiving and can’t seem to find Fig Jam at Hy-Vee.
It’s in the speciality meats and cheeses section at HyVee. If you can’t find it just ask the person behind the cheese counter – they’ll know right where to point you. :)
Goat cheese is a favorite of mine, so I have this recipe on my list to make for next week. It looks absolutely delicious!
This is GENIUS!
This dip sounds great and I’ve never tried fig before, so this would be a great time to do so and Crunchmasters is one of my favorite brands of crackers!
This looks amazing!! I’m going to try with Kite Hill dairy-free cheese!
This sounds delicious, and best of all, easy. Have to put a plug in here for Crunchmaster crackers, the original, which we dearly love and can only find at Costco, which is an hour away. They’re a staple, so good, and I didn’t realize they are gluten free until now. This dip will be great to serve next time my sister visits (she’s allergic to wheat) thanks!
I have an aversion to goat cheese. What could I sub for it? Dips looks great! Thanks.
I️ am going to try it with blue cheese
I’d love to know if anyone tried with blue cheese and how it tasted.
Oh man.. a dip with cheesy,fruity, nutty elements? This is basically a cheese board and I basically need wine, right? :)
