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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, combine the roasted garlic paste, cream cheese, softened butter, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Mix together thoroughly until the spread is smooth and evenly combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Serve with slices of baguette, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
