Roasted Garlic Spread
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
1 large head of garlic
1 tbs olive oil
1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese
1/4 cups butter
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs chopped chives
Directions
Instructions for roasting the garlic:
Peel skin away from garlic (leave the garlic head intact).
I cut the top off with a knife, just enough to expose the cloves.
Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil.
Bake at 350° for 25 minutes.
Unwrap and bake another 8-10 minutes till garlic is soft.
Remove papery skin and scoop pulp with small spoon into a bowl.
Instructions for the dip:
Beat cream cheese and butter till light and fluffy.
Add garlic pulp and salt.
Mix till well blended.
Stir in chives (I've used parsley).
Serve with warm slice of french bread.
