Drunken Goat Cheese Crab Dip Recipes

BAKED GOAT CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, parmesan and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a food processor and season with pepper; puree until smooth. Brush a 1-quart baking dish with olive oil, then spread the cheese mixture in the dish, mounding it slightly higher around the edge than in the middle. Bake until golden and heated through, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, chives, vinegar, garlic, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Spoon the tomato mixture on top of the dip. Serve with baguette slices.

Steps:

• Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the shallot and garlic on a square of aluminum foil. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold up and seal the foil. Place in the oven and roast for 1 hour. Remove and let cool.
