Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 3 heads Whole garlic heads
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the tops off the garlic heads to expose the cloves. Place the garlic heads on a piece of foil, drizzle them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and wrap the foil loosely around them.

Step 3

Roast the garlic in the oven for 40 minutes or until the cloves are golden and soft. Once roasted, let the garlic cool slightly before squeezing the soft cloves out of their skins into a bowl. Mash into a puree and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the oven heat to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

If using a store-bought crust, unroll it into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. If making homemade, prepare the crust and fit it to your dish. Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes to prevent it from getting soggy.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed roasted garlic, heavy cream, eggs, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Pour the garlic filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
