Smoked Goat Cheese

This tangy smoked goat cheese is cooked in a cast iron pan on your smoker and features a tart berry compote with vinegar and a hit of honey. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes adds some heat and this is one of the easiest and most satisfying dips to serve with some warm pita bread.
