Ingredients
- 1 whole garlic bulb
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Slice off the top of the garlic bulb, exposing the tops of the cloves. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are golden and soft.
Step 3
Remove the roasted garlic from the oven and allow it to cool until it's safe to handle. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins into a bowl.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the roasted garlic, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, sour cream, and lemon juice.
Step 5
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using a fork or hand mixer until the spread is smooth and well-combined.
Step 6
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Step 7
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
Step 8
Serve with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetable sticks. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
