Preparation

Step 1

Roast the garlic at 350. Cutting crosswise, slice off top 1/3 of garlic head and discard. Put garlic on foil, drizzle olive oil over, then season with 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of pepper. Wrap foil loosely around garlic and bake until golden brown and soft, about 45 minutes. Remove the garlic from the oven and unwrap and cool slightly, then squeeze the garlic cloves from the head. Remove 6 of the closed and add them to bowl of stand mixture. Reserve the remaining cloves for another use.

To the mixer, add all cheeses and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Beat on med. until combine and there are no large garlic pieces remaining, scraping the bowl as needed, about 1 minute. Scrape into a bowl and use the bottom of a spoon to make a well in the center. Drizzle with honey, then sprinkle with more pepper and fresh herbs. Serve with bread slices.
