Roasted Garlic Asiago Dip

By allyng

This is sooo good. Very rich. If you like garlic, this is a must try. The prep time includes the time to roast garlic.

Ingredients

• 1 head garlic
• 16 ounces cream cheese
• 2 cups shredded asiago cheese
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat oven to 400. 2 Cut the garlic head in half along the"equator" (with root and stem ends representing the poles). 3 Place the garlic, cut side down on a foil lined baking sheet and roast uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until tender. 4 (or use your favorite roasting instructions) To remove the garlic, turn heads upside down and gently squeeze the garlic out of the skins. 5 Reduce oven temp to 350. 6 With a food processor or electric mixer, blend cream cheese, Asiago cheese, heavy cream, sour cream and parsley until well-blended add garlic and blend again. 7 Place mixture into a casserole or baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella. 8 Bake about 20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top. 9 Serve with firm crusty bread, crackers or other dippers of your choice. 10 I have added artichoke hearts to the dip for a nice change. 11 Update: I have been replacing the heavy cream with sour cream (I have been using a total of 1 cup) and it comes out fine.
