Roasted Garlic Gorgonzola Butter Recipes

EASY ROASTED GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Cut about a half inch off the top of the garlic bulb.
• Place the bulb in a small baking dish. Drizzle the top with the olive oil.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour.
• Set the butter out to soften as you put the garlic in the oven.
• When the garlic is done, let it cool enough to handle. You should be able to just squeeze the cloves out of the husk.
• Put the softened butter and the garlic cloves in a mixing bowl, and mix together until thoroughly integrated.
• To store, scrape the mixture onto a piece of parchment or wax paper, roll into a fat, sausage shaped log, and the twist the ends shut.

Steps:

• Make garlic oil:
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Wrap garlic head in foil and roast in middle of oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Carefully unwrap garlic and cool. Horizontally halve garlic head and arrange, cut sides down, in a small bowl with oil. Let mixture stand, covered and chilled, 2 to 3 days to infuse oil with garlic flavor.
• Preheat broiler.
• In a saucepan boil cream, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Add Gorgonzola and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and sauce is smooth. Remove pan from heat and keep sauce warm, covered.
• Horizontally halve baguette and arrange, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Broil bread 2 to 3 inches from heat until golden. (If crust is soft, you may broil crust side of baguette as well.) Brush cut sides of baguette with garlic oil and season with salt. Cut baguette crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices.
• Pour warm Gorgonzola sauce onto center of a large plate and arrange roasted garlic bread slices around sauce.
