🥘 Ingredients
You only need a few simple ingredients to make this easy goat cheese recipe:

- Fresh thyme - fresh herbs elevate most every dish!
- Lemon zest
- Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- Honey
These 5 ingredients combine to make such a delectable spread that you will want to pair with every single carrot or celery stick you ever eat in your life!
So let's take 5 minutes to make this lusciously creamy and delicious goat cheese!
🔪 Instructions
Remove the goat cheese approximately 15 minutes prior to preparing this dish, to allow it to come close to room temperature.
Combine all of the ingredients (goat cheese, lemon juice and lemon zest, honey, and thyme) in your food processor.
Process the mixture until your goat cheese is light and whipped to the consistency that you desire. You'll need to scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl from time to time while processing.
Add a little more goat cheese if you want to thicken up your dish, or add a bit more lemon juice to thin it down to your liking.
And that, my friends, is all there is to making this delicious whipped goat cheese dish!
Suggestions For Serving
Remove and place your easy appetizer in a pretty serving bowl, drizzling with more honey and garnishing with extra thyme leaves on top of the goat cheese.
Serve with your favorite cracker and veggies, or include it as a part of a charcuterie board!
This luscious Whipped Goat Cheese With Lemon Thyme and Honey is also perfect as a spread for some crusty bread.
Enjoy!
FAQ
Store your whipped goat cheese in an airtight container in your refrigerator, and enjoy within 3 days.
Feel free to use a hand blender rather than a food processor to make this whipped goat cheese. It's not advisable to use a stand mixer to make this unless you double the quantities of the ingredients, simply because the stand mixer will be easier to use with a larger volume of ingredients.
