Tips & Variations

• Using room-temperature cheeses ensures easier blending and a smoother dip texture.
• Toast your dipping bread beforehand for added crunch and flavor contrast.
• If your hot honey is too thick, gently warm it to achieve better drizzling consistency.
• For a milder heat, reduce the red pepper flakes or choose a less spicy hot honey variety.
• Try adding a sprinkle of chopped fresh basil or oregano for a different herbal note.

Storage

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warm and bubbly before serving. Stir well if reheated in the microwave to restore creaminess.

FAQs

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the cheese mixture ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Bake just before serving to keep it fresh and bubbly.

What can I use if I don’t have Boursin cheese?

Soft herbed goat cheese or cream cheese mixed with garlic and herbs can be a good substitute, though the flavor will be slightly different.
