Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Place goat cheese, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, black pepper, and olive oil in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to break the goat cheese logs and then process until fully mixed, 30 seconds or so.
Transfer to an oven-proof bowl. Smooth out the top with the back of a spoon and brush it with a little bit of (no more than ½ teaspoon) olive oil.
Bake in the oven for 16-18 minutes or until it starts bubbling.
Serve immediately with crackers, veggies, and fruits.

Notes
Can I use a different cheese than parmesan? Yes, as a matter of fact I recommend trying this with shredded cheddar (instead of Parmesan cheese) and turning it into a yummy hot cheddar goat cheese dip. If you decide to do so, you can use the same amount of cheddar.
Can I make it ahead? Yes, you can. Simple whip everything up in the food processor, place the mixture into the bowl you plan on baking, cover it with stretch film, and keep it in the fridge. Bake it right before you are ready to serve to make sure that it is nice and warm.
Can I freeze it? I wouldn’t recommend freezing this dip.
What can I do with leftovers? I doubt that you’ll have leftovers, but if you do you can use this dip to spread on a piece of toast and top it off with roasted vegetables, like I did in this Herbed Goat Cheese Bruschetta with Butternut Squash and Cranberry Jam recipe.
