goat cheese dip

Ingredients:

4 heads of garlic
20oz plain goat cheese
2 pkgs sundried tomatoes (not in oil), chopped
10 green onions, chopped
evoo
20 leaves fresh basil, sliced
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp white pepper
2 tsp Salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400.

Slice tops of the 4 heads of garlic and place on large strip of tin foil. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over heads (at least 3 Tbsp), and sprinkle with salt. Gather edges of tin foil and press together, sealing tightly around garlic heads. Bake in oven until garlic is soft and cloves can be squeezed out of skin easily (approx 45 minutes). Let cool slightly. It’s easier to combine if the oil and garlic are still slightly warm.

Set goat cheese out until slightly soft. In a large mixing bowl, combine goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, green onions, basil, garlic cloves and the garlic infused olive oil it roasted in, salt and pepper. Stir until ingredients are combined. Refrigerate, preferably over night to allow flavors to combine.

Serve with crackers, celery, and carrots.
