Ingredients

1 8 ounce log of goat cheese
⅓ cup honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest divided
1 ½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon chili flakes
¼ teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
1 dash fresh ground black pepper
1 dash garlic powder
Roasted Carrots, for dipping
Gluten free crackers, for dipping

Instructions

Place the honey, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme, chili flakes, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Whisk the honey mixture together over medium heat, until it just begins to simmer, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the honey steep for 10 minutes. While the mixture steeps, take the log of goat cheese out of the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature - about 15 minutes.
Once the honey has steeped, pour about ¾ of the mixture into a medium bowl with the goat cheese. Whisk together, vigorously, until the mixture is smooth. Place into a small serving bowl, and top with the remaining honey mixture.
Enjoy with roasted carrots and your favorite gluten free crackers!
