Baked Garlic Bread Dip

Imagine the warmth of freshly baked garlic bread—but in dip form. This recipe is like a hug from the oven, full of roasted garlic, melty cheese, and herb-kissed creaminess. It brings back memories of Sunday suppers where the bread basket was always empty first. This dip is meant to be shared, savored, and scraped clean to the last bit.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

3 heads garlic, tops sliced off crosswise

2 shallots, ends trimmed

8 oz cream cheese, softened

3 tbsp mayonnaise

3 tbsp minced parsley

2 tbsp thinly sliced chives

6 oz finely shredded mozzarella cheese

6 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Drizzle garlic and shallots with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 40–45 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze garlic from skins.
