Author Notes
Fresh chèvre is one of my favorite cheeses to transform into a dip. The delicate and slightly tangy flavor profile makes for an excellent base to build upon. This recipe highlights these subtle notes, with an addition of salty and crispy prosciutto bits to brighten up the creaminess. It's easy to whip up for any occasion! —Marissa Mullen
