Ingredients

  • ½ white onion approx. ¾ cup
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 12 oz goat cheese this is 1 of the large 8 oz logs and 1 of the smaller 4 oz logs or 3 small 4 oz logs
  • ½ cup greek yogurt unsweetened and plain (I used 0% fat)
  • 2 tablespoon almond milk unsweetened and plain
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tablespoon honey divided
  • 2 tablespoon chives chopped

Instructions

  • Chop the onion into thin strips, about ½ inch thick. Add to a skillet with 2 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Continue to cook until the onions are translucent and soft which will take about 15 - 20 minutes. They will then quickly turn a golden caramel color. Once this happens, remove the skillet from the heat and allow the onions to cool while you prepare the rest of the dip.
  • Add the goat cheese and greek yogurt to a food processor and blend until well mixed. It will be pretty thick at this point.
  • Scrape down the sides and then turn the processor back on and add the almond milk, the remaining 2 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper through the nozzle. Blend until the blade is running smoothly and the mixture is nice and creamy.
  • Then add 2 tablespoon of honey to the mixture and pulse a few times to distribute. Don’t blend or over mix, you want the honey to just be gently folded into the cheese.
  • When ready to serve, add the remaining 2 tablespoons honey to the skillet with the onions and toss to coat. Then transfer the whipped goat cheese to a dish (use anything from a 6 - 8 inch dish) and spoon the onions over top. Sprinkle the chopped chives and enjoy with toasted bread, vegetable sticks, crackers, etc.
