This lemon and rosemary whipped goat cheese is the kind of dip that feels fancy but takes almost no time to throw together. It’s light, creamy, tangy, and loaded with fresh flavor from real lemon zest and rosemary. Whether you’re putting together a quick appetizer board or need something to spread on crostini, this one’s a go-to.

Perfect for entertaining, but easy enough to make just because. It’s savory, bright, and honestly addicting with crackers, warm pita, or even spread on a sandwich.

Before you get started

Let your goat cheese come to room temperature to make blending easier. You’ll also want to use fresh rosemary for the best flavor—it makes a big difference here. A food processor works best for the smoothest texture, but a hand mixer will do in a pinch.
