Roasted Garlic Cream Cheese

I had a brick of cream cheese left over since I didn't use it all up in my other recipes. I needed some cream cheese for the delicious bagels, but wanted a little flavor. So, I decided to try out a new "creation" and actually made up this recipe. Yum... it was delicious, if I may say so myself. ;o) I used the George Foreman grill to roast the garlic cloves.

Ingredients :

  • 1 package of brick cream cheese (plain)
  • about 6 cloves of garlic peeled (you can use more or less to your own taste)
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of italian seasoning
Directions:
1. Let the cream cheese soften for about a half hour in a bowl.
Meanwhile, peel the garlic cloves and place on the pre-heated George Foreman grill.

2.Coat the garlic cloves with the oil and roast until tender.

3. Once the garlic is done mash it up with a fork and add to the cream cheese.

4. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over and blend everything for about 2 -3 minutes with a hand mixer.
