Paired with an IPA
Do you know what I absolutely love right now? Radishes. Beautiful, red and plump radishes.
Do you know what else I absolutely love right now? Simple and delicious (and QUICK) appetizers that take no time at all and are ready on a whim.
Let’s start with the radishes. Is it just me, or are radishes just looking AHHH-mazing right now. I’m seriously obsessed. I’ve done just about everything with them, with the most frequent things being putting them in my salads or on top of yummy crostini. My latest obsession though? Using them as a dipping device. They are the perfect dipping device and the ultimate accompaniment to this warm pimento goat cheese dip.
I’m all about the dips. If you are a frequent reader, you should probably know this by now. I don’t take my dips lightly, and I kind of get out of control with them. Just head back to the January and February archives (prime Superbowl season). You’ll know what I’m getting at. I go on dip splurges where it’s all I will post for like 2 weeks straight. Seriously. No joke. So yes, I totally have a dip recipe for you today, and it’s for no reason other than that I really just wanted to share a dip recipe. This warm pimento goat cheese dip is something I make all through the year. It’s a recipe that everyone just can’t stop eating. If you cook for a living, whether it’s professional or home-based, you know exactly what I’m talking about when I say that you love when people eat your food. This is one such recipe that every time I put it down, I smile. I hope you guys will too!
Recipe for this warm pimento goat cheese dip is below! Pair it with an IPA. It will really tone down the spiciness and bring the whole dish together! Have a great Monday, friends! xo

I’m all about those quick and easy appetizer to whip up too, especially in the summer! This dip looks AMAZING, Jocelyn! I love that you added pimentos and goat cheese. Sounds like the perfect dish! Pinned!
Thanks, Gayle! You’re the sweetest!
OMG! So good. May add fermented jalepenos next time. Omitted the salt because of salt in the cheeses, etc Any receive with goat cheese is a winner in my book! Thank you!!!
This dip would definitely not last more than a few hours in this house! I am pretty much obsessed with all things goat cheese and I think I would definitely need a spoon for this! Lovin’ those pimentos and how warm and gooey it looks!
Haha, yay for using a spoon a dipping device! Thanks, Sarah!
Radishes are kinda the bomb! Love this cheesy goodness and the cute colors flecked throughout :)
Thanks, Medha!
Omg girl. As if pimento cheese weren’t enough you went and made it goat. You are killing me, in the best possible way!
Haha. You’re the best. Thanks girl.

That dip looks incredible Justine! I’m completely with you on the radishes, I’m seriously obsessed with them lately. I keep buying big bags of them, even though I’m the only one in the house that even likes them!
Thanks, Stacey! They are sooo good right?! xo
I love dips, especially ones that are hearty enough to be made a meal! I don’t think I’d need anything else! Pinned :)
I definitely didn’t need anything else. ;) Thanks Ashley!
This dip would disappear in a flash at my house. YUM

I hear ya on the whole dip thing. I devour them and often need them as an appetizer for my dinner while I am cooking. But then it always happens…I am no longer hungry when dinner rolls around. Oh the struggles ;)
Oh the struggles we face in life. Thanks pretty lady. ;)
What the heck are pimentos?! I mean, I have always seen pimento cheese, but what ARE they? I think I actually looked it up once, but then I forgot immediately. This dip looks so good, I don’t even care what they are. I just want it!
HAHAHAHA. You crack me up, Andi. They are just a pepper variety. Nothing special really. You are so cute. Thanks girl.
I love dips and should make them more often, but I’m afraid I’ll eat the whole darn thing. :) This looks delicious and wish I had some for my late night snack. Ha and I’m suppose to diet. Yea right. Pinned!!
Yeah, I basically did eat the whole thing. Haha. Thanks for the pin, Cyndi!
I never had this kind of baked cheese dip before. must be something very American, because I’ve only seen this kind of recipe in blogs. I definitely have to try this soooon!
HAHA. Yes, it is very American…more like southern American. We don’t even eat very many pimentos in the north. Thank you so much, Adina!
