Here at Delish, we can't get enough of goat cheese. The tangy, creamy cheese is a versatile favorite—whether we're crumbling it on top of our salads, frying it into a bite-sized appetizer—or, in this case, creating a sweet and savory dip, this cheese holds a special place in our hearts. Baked in the oven with fig jam and sweet caramelized onions, this dip is the perfect rich addition to your party spread.
Serve with crostini, a sliced baguette or crackers for the most irresistible dip your guests won't be able to get enough of.
