Baked Goat Cheese & Balsamic Dip

Hot, gooey, and savory – yet with a bit of sweetness from the balsamic vinegar and candied pecans.

If you have some extra time, let the tomatoes sit in the vinegar mixture for about 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to really get absorbed, and make them so much more flavorful. To cut the fresh chives, grab a bunch of them and use scissors to quickly cut them right into the dish.

As soon as it comes out of the oven, spoon the tomato mixture over the hot cheese. The fresh tomatoes add a great texture to the dip and balance out the richness of the cheese. As well top with any nuts you’d like – pine nuts or chopped candied pecans are fantastic!
