Servings: 12 Bites
Ingredients
- 1 bulb garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 scallions green onions
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil like vegetable or avocado
- salt and black pepper to season
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 6 ounces sour cream
- 1 package refrigerated crescent dough 8 oz
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F(200°C). Cut the top of the garlic off horizontally.
- Place the garlic head on a large piece of tin foil. Drizzle with a tablespoon of the olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Wrap up the head of garlic and roast it for 30 minutes in the oven.
- Roll out the crescent dough and press the seams together. Cut into 12 squares.
- Lightly grease a mini muffin tin. Press the squares into the tin. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Trim the green onions to remove root end and any yellowing pieces. Cut into 4” sections. Place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle on oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Put them in the oven, on the top rack, on broil. Broil until they are mostly charred.
- Remove the scallions from the oven and cool; then chop.
- When the garlic is done, squeeze the pulp out of the bulb into a bowl. Mash it with a fork.
- Add the chopped scallions, cream cheese, sour cream and some salt and pepper to the bowl; mix well. Season to taste.
- Spoon some of the dip into each crescent roll cup and top with sliced green onions.
