How to Make Baked Garlic With Blue Cheese And Rosemary
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut 1/2 inch off the top of each garlic head, exposing the cloves.
- Remove any loose papery outer skin from the garlic heads.
- Place garlic heads, cut-side up, in a non-aluminum baking dish.
- Top each garlic head with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the garlic.
- Pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 1/4 cup of dry white wine into the baking dish.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary over the garlic.
- Place 2 fresh rosemary sprigs in the dish.
- Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake uncovered for 60-75 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with pan juices and adding more broth if needed to maintain some sauce in the dish. Garlic should be tender.
- Remove from oven and add 4 ounces of crumbled blue cheese to the dish.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Discard the used rosemary sprigs.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs before serving.
- Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
