Moms Garlic Spread Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC SPREAD

Steps:

• In an oven-proof casserole dish or pie plate, add the garlic and toss with the salt. Spread the garlic cloves in an even layer and add the olive oil until the cloves are completely submerged.
• Cover the dish with foil and transfer to the oven. Roast for 30-35 minutes until the garlic is light golden in color and very tender.
• Cool the garlic in the dish then strain the oil through a mesh sieve set over a bowl. Save the oil in a sealed container for other recipes.
• Place the cooled garlic cloves in a food processor or blender. Add 2 to 4 tablespoons of the infused oil and process until smooth and creamy.
• Add salt according to taste preference, transfer to a container and stir in the thyme leaves if using.

GARLIC BREAD SPREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a bowl, mix together the butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic, marjoram, basil, fines herbs mix, oregano, black pepper, and parsley until thoroughly combined. Split the Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise, and spread each half generously with the butter mixture.
• Bake the garlic bread on the top rack of the preheated oven until the butter mixture melts and bubbles, 10 to 15 minutes; turn on the broiler, and broil until the bread is your desired shade of golden brown, 1 to 2 more minutes.
