SOOO many YESSEESSSSSS to today’s recipe… just so many.
Clearly I am beyond excited about this little snack board. I’ve made it no secret that this summer has been all about good snacks for me…
…example one: summer garden guacamole
…example two: marinated cherry tomatoes with burrata
SIDE NOTE: I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the kitchen for honestly twelve hours straight filming some new, quick, but fun videos for you guys. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. I got to hang with my brother and his girlfriend, whom I don’t get to see very often. We made some really freaking delicious food and then topped the day off by making an awesome new drink ! A new bourbon cocktail is coming your way soon… just sayin!
Anyway, on Saturday we decided to make these marinated tomatoes with burrata on snapchat. I also hosted a fun giveaway! Everyone agreed, it’s safe to say that these tomatoes + burrata are one of our top five favorite recipes of the summer. So simple, so good… you NEED to make them asap…again, just sayin.
…example three: summer fruit plate
…example four: simple summer cheese board
…example five: crostini 6 ways
…example six: farmers market hummus
…example seven: Greek inspired antipasto platter
…example eight: the new crudite’ platter
I know, I know, that’s a crazy amount of appetizers and snacks, but I just cannot help it, snacks are the BEST! Today’s board though, oh my gosh, I am so PUMPED about it. It has hummus, AND cheese, AND fresh figs, AND tomatoes… basically all the best summer produce.
So excited!
Because I feel like we have a bit to talk about with this board, let’s just dive right into all the details, starting with the hummus. I don’t know if you know this or not, but I wasn’t always a hummus person. For the longest time, I just did not eat it. My parents never liked it, so in turn, it was just never something I cared to try, or make. Well, that all changed last year when I made this hummus board. Hummus quickly became a weekly thing for me. It’s now safe to say I am a little addicted.
Hello, hummus with pita chips, who could not love that?!?
Today’s hummus is verry summer inspired though. Roasted corn, charred jalapeños and topped with toasted seeds. So much flavor happening, and so perfect when scooped up with a salty pita chip or even some fresh, crunchy veggies! 🙂 YUMM.
But um, you guys! There’s more! We’re not talking just one dip, nope. We’re talking TWO, and the second dip involves cheese!
Oh my gosh, totally serious!
Everyone, say hello to honey whipped goat cheese…aka the most addicting dip in all the land… for real.
Obviously you need to be into goat cheese to enjoy this dip, but seeing as we have three goats, drink goat milk every single day, and are about to be blessed with anywhere from 3-8 new baby goats, it’s safe to say we love a little goat cheese at my house.
Best part?? It’s SO easy. Just add goat cheese, Greek yogurt and honey to a food processor and blend. DONE. Serve it up smeared on bread and topped with fruits and veggies. Perfect summer snack/appetizer…or maybe even a Monday night lite dinner?
Yes, totally thinking this Market Veggie Board with Roasted Corn Jalapeno Hummus + Honey Whipped Goat Cheese = dinner tonight. Who’s with me?

Hi! Could you clarify how much goat cheese?
Hi Sarah,
You will need (1) 10.5 ounce log of goat cheese. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xT
I’m very excited to make this but am a little confused about some of the amounts. Should we use two cups or two ears of corn? What is the corn three quarters of? And what size log of goat cheese? A typical four ounce one or does the 10.5 in the ingredients mean something. Thanks so much!
Hey Lauren,
The recipe calls for 2 ears of roasted corn, which should be about 3/4 cup. You will want to use a 10.5 ounce log of goat cheese. I hope you love this recipe, please let me know how it turns out! xTieghan
Thanks for you quick response. I truly appreciate it. If you get a chance, it might be worth double checking the recipe – it looks like when it was put through a recipe generator for the website some of the amounts and ingredients didn’t load side by side (for example, 2 cup ears roasted corn kernels removed from the cob (about 3/4 total), instead of 2 ears of corn, about 3 or 4 total cups).
How long will the hummus last? Would the flavors hold if I make it a couple days in advanced?
Hey Tory,
Yes that would be totally fine to do, just keep it covered in the fridge. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
The recipe doesn’t talk about what to do with the jalapeños after roasting and dicing… can you please update?
Hey Juls,
You will add them to the food processor. I hope you love the recipe! xTieghan
My friends still talk about this honey whipped goat cheese. Thank you so much for all of the platter recipes and directions you come up with. You have really helped my hosting game.
BTW added some herbs de Provence and fig butter to the whipped goat cheese which really worked nicely.
Thanks again for trying another recipe Anna, I am so glad it was enjoyed! xTieghan
For the whipped goat cheese, do you use the whole log or just one ounce?
Hi Traci,
You can use the whole log. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
