ROASTED GARLIC AND BLUE CHEESE DELIGHT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Remove all but a couple of layers of skin off the garlic (do not peel it down to the cloves).
• Slice the tips of the cloves so flesh is just exposed.
• Place garlic in a small baking dish (or a garlic roaster, if you have one).
• Place a few sliced scallions around the garlic bulbs.
• Coat garlic bulbs with olive oil with a thin layer of olive oil in the bottom of the dish.
• Bake for about 45 minutes or until cloves are soft.
• About 10 minutes before the garlic is done, place crumbled blue cheese around garlic cloves.
• Stir around to coat with oil.
• Return to oven and bake until melted.
• Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
• To eat, spread a bread slice with the blue cheese, squeeze on roasted garlic and spread.
