Baked Goat Cheese Dip
This baked goat cheese dip has all of the ingredients that low-carb eaters love, including cream cheese. It's become my second favorite appetizer to make, ever since mastering the spinach and artichoke dip in the Crock Pot. I think you'll love it, too — especially since each serving has only two total carbs. Best of all, this is a dip that you can throw together in under half an hour.
