Ingredients

  • 2 whole garlic bulbs
  • 3 tsp. olive oil, divided
  • 3 plum tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) spreadable chive and onion cream cheese
  • 1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • Assorted crackers or snack breads

Preparation

Step 1

Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut tops off of garlic bulbs; brush each with 1/2 tsp. oil. Wrap each bulb in heavy-duty foil. Place garlic and tomatoes in a foil-lined 9-inch square baking pan. Brush tomatoes with remaining oil.
Bake at 425 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until the garlic is softened. Cool for 10-15 minutes; squeeze garlic into a small bowl. Drain any liquid from tomatoes; chop and add to garlic. Stir in cream cheese, seasoning and salt. Serve with crackers or snack breads.
