Preparation

Step 1

Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves)
Cut top off bulb. Brush with 1 1/2 tsp oil; sprinkle with rosemary. Wrap in heavy-duty foil. Bake 425F for 30-35 minutes or until softened.

Meanwhile, cut the top fourth off the loaf of bread; carefully hollow out enough of the bottom of the bread so cheese will fit. Cube removed bread; set aside. Place cheese in bread.

Cool garlic for 10-15 min. Reduce heat to 375F. Squeeze softened garlic into a bowl and mash with a fork; spread over cheese. Replace the bread top; brush outside of bread with the remaining oil. Wrap in heavy duty foil.

Bake 45-50 minuets or until cheese is melted. Serve with toasted baguette, grapes and the bread cubes.
