Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole garlic bulb
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off the garlic bulb to reveal the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap the bulb in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden.
Remove the garlic from the oven and let it cool. Once cool, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a bowl and mash into a paste with a fork.
In a medium bowl, combine the roasted garlic paste, cream cheese, softened butter, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mix together thoroughly until the spread is smooth and evenly combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish, or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use. Let it come to room temperature before serving for easier spreading.
Serve with slices of baguette, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
