1 head garlic
16 ounces cream cheese
2 cups shredded asiago cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400.
Cut the garlic head in half along the"equator" (with root and stem ends representing the poles).
Place the garlic, cut side down on a foil lined baking sheet and roast uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until tender.
(or use your favorite roasting instructions) To remove the garlic, turn heads upside down and gently squeeze the garlic out of the skins.
Reduce oven temp to 350.
With a food processor or electric mixer, blend cream cheese, Asiago cheese, heavy cream, sour cream and parsley until well-blended add garlic and blend again.
Place mixture into a casserole or baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella.
Bake about 20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top.
Serve with firm crusty bread, crackers or other dippers of your choice.
I have added artichoke hearts to the dip for a nice change.
Update: I have been replacing the heavy cream with sour cream (I have been using a total of 1 cup) and it comes out fine.

Roasted Garlic-Asiago Dip With Cheese Crackers image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup grated asiago cheese (about 2 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound prepared pizza dough, at room temperature
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg
1 head elephant garlic
1/2 cup grated asiago cheese (about 2 ounces)
Kosher salt
5 to 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Make the crackers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the asiago and cayenne in a small bowl. Dust the pizza dough lightly with flour, then run it through a pasta roller, adjusting the setting thinner each time and dusting with more flour as needed, until about 1/8 inch thick.
Lightly beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl. Brush the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle liberally with the asiago-cayenne mixture. Using a pizza wheel, cut the dough crosswise into triangles. Place the dough triangles on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
Meanwhile, make the dip: Place the garlic in a small baking dish and roast in the oven until very soft when squeezed, about 40 minutes; let cool 10 minutes. Cut the top off the garlic and squeeze the roasted cloves out of the skin.
Place the roasted garlic in a food processor, add the asiago and season with salt. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil. Drizzle in up to 1/4 cup water if the dip is too thick. Taste and make sure it is delicious; re-season if needed. Serve with the crackers.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 heads garlic
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces pancetta, finely chopped
One 16-ounce container sour cream
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crackers, for serving
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Steps:

Cut the top third off each head of garlic so the cloves are exposed and wrap in foil. Roast the garlic until the cloves are very soft and golden, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly and then pop the cloves from the skins and finely chop.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to paper towels to drain.
Mix together the sour cream and cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add the pancetta, chopped garlic, dill, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine. Serve with crackers.
