Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 2 whole Garlic bulb
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the tops off both garlic bulbs to expose the cloves. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each bulb, then wrap them tightly in aluminum foil.
Place the foil-wrapped garlic bulbs on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden.
While the garlic is roasting, slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a separate baking sheet.
Once the garlic is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl. Mash the garlic with a fork and mix in the butter, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the roasted garlic mixture evenly onto each slice of baguette.
Crumble the Gorgonzola cheese over the top of each bread slice.
Place the prepared bread slices into the 350°F oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the roasted garlic bread warm and enjoy!
