Most garlic lovers will agree that the only thing better than garlic is roasted garlic. This recipe makes a relatively mild spread, so if you love garlic you might want to increase the amount.

Roasted Garlic Spread

1 garlic bulb
1 tsp (5 ml) olive oil
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
2 oz (60 g) goat's cheese
1/4 cup (60 ml) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 - 3 Tbs (30 - 45 ml) milk
Chopped fresh chives and/or parsley for garnish

Slice the top off the garlic bulb to reveal the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Bake in a 400F (200C) oven for 45 minutes. Cool and remove garlic cloves from their skins by gently squeezing. Mash the garlic with a fork and combine with the remaining ingredients, mixing well and adding enough milk to achieve a spreadable consistency. Spoon into a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped herbs. Serve with raw vegetables, crackers, or pita bread. Serves 8 to 12 as an appetizer.
