A creamy, tangy and hearty Dip made with Goat Cheese, Sun-dried Tomatoes, Spinach and Artichokes. Great on its own with some crackers or veggies or as part of cheeseboard. 
Continuing with the holiday appetizer theme sharing another interesting Dip recipe that is full of flavors with a tangy base from the Joan of Arc® Goat Cheese. You are definitely going to love this!
Goat cheese is a soft cheese that is immensely popular especially as a salad topper but this creamy tangy cheese is much more versatile than that and in today's post I'm sharing my favorite way of using it. For those new to goat cheese, its as the name states, its a cheese made from goat's milk and has a characteristic tart flavor. The smooth spreadable consistency of Goat cheese makes it perfect base for dip.
For this dip I've used the Joan of Arc® Goat Cheese as it has a pleasantly fresh yet lightly tangy flavor that adds a distinctive pop of flavor to this dip inspired by the holiday season and Christmas colors, red from the sun-dried tomatoes and green from spinach. The brown caramelized onions along with artichokes give it a great chunky hearty bite.
You can make this dip ahead of time and refrigerate. Just before your guest arrive bake this and serve with your favorite chips and or veggies.

This looks amazing, though I can't find Mexican blend cheese here in Norway...
Thanks Again! Instead of mexican cheese blend you can use any cheese of choice - may be cheddar if you can find it.
