Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Mixture

  • 225 g (8 oz) goat cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 115 g (4 oz) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 85–115 g (3–4 oz) prosciutto, finely chopped

Topping

  • 1 cup fig jam
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios

To Serve

  • Crackers, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Blend the Cheeses: In a food processor, combine the softened goat cheese and cream cheese and blend until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the cheeses together in a large bowl until creamy.
  3. Incorporate Prosciutto: Transfer the cheese mixture to a mixing bowl and gently fold in the finely chopped prosciutto until evenly distributed.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Spread the combined cheese and prosciutto mixture evenly into a 23 × 18 × 5 cm (9 × 7 × 2-inch) baking dish or pie plate, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  5. Add Fig Jam: Evenly spread 1 cup of fig jam over the top of the cheese mixture layer.
  6. Bake the Dip: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the dip is warmed through and slightly bubbling.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top just before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite crackers.

Notes

  • Allow the goat cheese and cream cheese to soften fully to room temperature to ensure smooth blending.
  • Adjust the amount of prosciutto according to your taste preference for a milder or stronger savory flavor.
  • If fig jam is unavailable, substitute with another sweet fruit preserve such as apricot or berry preserves for a different twist.
  • This dip is best served warm but can be prepared ahead and gently reheated before serving.
  • Use a shallow baking dish to allow even heating and easy dipping.
