This Pecan Pie Inspired Goat Cheese Dip is the perfect sweet-and-savory fall appetizer, combining creamy whipped goat cheese with a caramelized brown sugar pecan topping. Serve it with La Panzanella Rosemary crackers for an easy, crowd-pleasing dip that's sure to be the star of any holiday gathering!
Add cream cheese and goat cheese to a bowl and whip for 1 minute or until smooth, creamy, and fluffy. Pour into a small cast iron pumpkin or oven safe baking dish (about 6-8” wide).
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until goat cheese is puffy and bubbling.
During the last few minutes in the oven, make the topping. In a small sauce pan over medium heat, toast the pecan pieces then remove them, set aside, and wipe out the pan to remove any bits.
Next, melt butter and brown sugar. Let the mixture simmer and once the sugar has melted into the butter, add in the toasted pecan pieces and cinnamon.
Pour the candied pecan mixture over the warm goat cheese and serve with La Panzanella crackers.
