Easy Cheese Spread
I made this dip last week for a party I was having. The best thing about the basic recipe is that you can change up the flavor just by adding different spices each time. I love roasted garlic in it, it adds so much flavor.
If you’ve never roasted garlic you don’t know what you’re missing. It completely changes the taste of it. Roasting garlic is really simple. Cut the tops off to expose the bulbs. Remove as much of the papers on the garlic as you can easily remove. Wrap them in foil with a little olive oil and bake for at least 45 minutes at 400 degrees until the garlic is tender and caramelized. You can squeeze it right out of the bulbs when it is ready.
