Cheesy, baked dips (with golden brown tops after a broil in the oven) are the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer in the cooler months. This dip boasts great flavor from tangy goat cheese, honey, garlic and fresh thyme. Dunk all your favorite crackers and crudites into this super easy-to-whip-up dip, and pour the wine for a great pre-dinner snack.

You can assemble this all in advance, too. Mix the ingredients together up to two days in advance and cover it in the fridge - when it's time to cook your baked goat cheese and ricotta dip, just take it out and throw it in the oven until it's golden brown and hot.

Instructions

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, goat cheese, honey, salt, garlic, olive oil and thyme. Mix until smooth and incorporated.*
Spoon the cheese mixture into a small baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes to heat through. Turn on the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling, being careful not to burn the mixture.
Remove the cheese dip from the oven. Top with more fresh thyme. Serve hot with toasted crostini or crackers for dipping.

Was so looking forward to making this dip for Saturday college football as an appetizer! I love ricotta, goat cheese, honey, garlic and thyme. Sorry Giada, but this was just okay. Would not make again.
