Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Blue cheese
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 60 grams Sour cream
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, finely chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it in aluminum foil.
Roast the wrapped garlic bulb in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are golden and soft.
Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted cloves into a medium mixing bowl, discarding the skins.
Add the blue cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and lemon juice to the same bowl.
Use a fork or a hand mixer to blend the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the chopped chives (if using) and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the dip spread to a serving dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks, and enjoy!
