This super quick light and creamy everything bagel seasoning whipped goat cheese is the perfect party appetizer. Make your own everything bagel seasoning and top the dip with capers, dill, and shaved carrot "lox" to make it a showpiece!
Optional: ½ clove roasted garlic, smashed into paste (*see note)
Optional, for garnish:
1medium carrot, peeled and shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
¼thinly sliced red onion
1tablespooncapers
A few sprigs of fresh dill
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix all of the ingredients for the everything bagel seasoning blend in a small bowl. You're going to fold some of it into the whipped goat cheese dip and reserve the rest for garnish.
Crumble the goat cheese into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a medium mixing bowl with a hand mixer. Whisk the goat cheese to break it up, scraping down the sides, for about 1 minute. Add three tablespoons of the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, mixing between each until smooth. Add the remaining heavy cream and mix until firm peaks (Note: When you turn the whisk upside down, the peak should hold, but the tips should still be soft and fold over onto itself - you want the dip to be soft and fluffy, but have enough structure to hold its form in a bowl).
Add 2 teaspoons of the seasoning and fold to combine. Taste the dip and adjust adding more seasoning if you prefer. Swirl the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with shaved carrot, sliced red onion, capers, fresh dill, and a sprinkling of everything bagel seasoning.
Notes
*Roasted garlic option: If you're making this for kids and adults, I'd leave out the roasted garlic. If you're making it for adults, the roasted garlic bumps of the garlic notes and adds a little spicy sweetness. That being said, only add it if you're really a fan of garlic.
