• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 heads garlic

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced

2 cups mozzarella, grated

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Crostini or crackers, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Slice the tops off the heads of garlic, leaving rest of head intact. Place on a sheet of foil and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap foil tightly closed and place in oven. Roast for 1 hour.

Let garlic cool for 15 minutes before opening foil. While garlic cools further, start to make the dip:

In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, mayo, onion powder, and parsley until smooth. Squeeze in roasted garlic and stir to combine, making mixture mostly smooth but leaving some chunks of garlic.

Stir in half of the mozzarella and half of the parmesan and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Transfer mixture to a baking dish and top with remaining cheese.

Bake until mixture is bubble and top is lightly golden, about 15 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
