Instructions

Make the hot honey:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in honey and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat. Let cool slightly. -
Prepare dip base:
In a medium bowl, mix Boursin, cream cheese, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. For extra-smooth texture, use a hand mixer. -

Notes
Make hot honey ahead and store in a jar—it keeps well for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
For added flair, top with chopped fresh herbs or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Let cheeses come fully to room temp before mixing for the smoothest texture.
