Ingredients
Cheese Spread
- 1 ramekin (6.5 ounces) Alouette Garlic & Herbs Soft Spreadable Cheese
Toppings
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chile crisp
- 2 to 3 teaspoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped toasted pistachios
- 1 teaspoon minced chives
Serving
- Multigrain crackers, for serving
Instructions
- Spread Cheese. Scoop the Alouette Garlic & Herbs Soft Spreadable Cheese out of the ramekin and onto a dinner-size plate or serving platter. Use a spoon to spread it evenly across the plate, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Create decorative swirls and shallow divots in the cheese using the spoon.
- Add Toppings. Spoon and drizzle the chile crisp into the divots of the cheese for a spicy kick. Drizzle honey over the top to balance the heat with sweetness. Then scatter the chopped toasted pistachios evenly across the plate and finish with a sprinkle of minced chives for a fresh herbaceous note.
- Serve with Crackers. Arrange multigrain crackers around the rim of the plate. Serve the dip immediately for best flavor or chill in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of chile crisp and honey based on your preferred balance of heat and sweetness.
- To toast pistachios, simply heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and slightly browned.
- This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to one day.
- Substitute multigrain crackers with your favorite crunchy bread or vegetable sticks for variation.
