Creamy whipped goat cheese with honey and citrusy orange flavor is the perfect easy appetizer for any holiday gathering but it's also great as a regular weekday snack. It's made with just 5 simple ingredients and ready in 10 minutes!
Citrus zester or microplane*You can try zesting orange peel with a cheese grater if you don't have a zester. The smaller the holes on the grater, the better.
