Ingredients
- 1 bulb garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 scallions green onions
- 1 tablespoon high-smoke-point cooking oil like vegetable or avocado
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 6 ounces sour cream
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. 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 30-45 minutes in the oven, until it's really soft.
- Trim the green onions to remove root end and any yellowing pieces. Cut into 4” sections. Place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle on high-smoke point 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 roughly 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.
- Serve on bread slices or with chips.
