Ingredients
- 1 head of garlic, roasted
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup pesto
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted and chopped
- Baguette slices, for serving
- Pepper slices, for serving
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Roast the garlic: Using a Santoku-Style Trimmer, cut off the entire top of the garlic bulb about ¼- to ½- inch down to expose most of the cloves. Place the prepared garlic bulb on a large sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle them with sea salt. Wrap the bulb of garlic tightly in the aluminum foil and place in an oven-safe ceramic dish. Bake approximately 30-40 minutes, until it is soft to the touch. Remove from the oven.
- Reduce the heat of the oven to 350 F.
- Squeeze the roasted cloves out of the bulb and place them into a bowl. Mash the garlic with a fork. Add in the cream cheese and sour cream and mix until well combined.
- Spread garlic mixture into the bottom of a small baking dish and then spread the pesto on top.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the pesto.
- Place the tomatoes over the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle with pine nuts.
- Bake the dip until the garlic cream cheese is bubbling, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
- Serve with toasted baguette slices and vegetables.
