How to Make Great Garlic Spread
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice off the top of one whole head of garlic to expose the cloves.
- Drizzle the exposed garlic cloves generously with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Wrap the garlic head tightly in aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, gently squeeze each clove from its skin.
- In a medium bowl, mash the cooked garlic cloves with a fork.
- Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of milk (or more, to reach desired consistency), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley (or other herbs like chives or thyme).
- Transfer the garlic spread to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with extra chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite dippers like raw vegetables, crackers, or pita bread.
