ROASTED GARLIC, BEER AND CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Cut the top tip of each head garlic off. As long as you expose most of the cloves, it will work fine. Place them in a piece of tin foil. Drizzle with olive oil and seal the foil. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Poke with a knife to make sure the coves are mushy and soft.
• Wait until these are cool! You'll end up popping the cloves out mostly with your fingers and hot oil is no funsies.
• Reduce oven temp to 350.
• In a stand mixer or bowl with a hand mixer, add the cream cheese, 1½ cups of delicious cheese, beer, salt, pepper and corn starch. Mix thoroughly. I mixed it all on high for about two minutes. This will leave some large pieces of garlic, but some of it will also combine with the other ingredients.
• Add to a baking dish, top with the remaining cheese. Bake it in the preheated oven until it is bubbly. If you want it browned on top, bake it for 20 minutes and then broil for 5 minutes. Make sure the dish you're cooking in is broil friendly.

ROASTED GARLIC DIP

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Cut off the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves, trimming about 1/4 inch off of the top of each clove. You may need to trim individual cloves along the sides of the head. Brush the cut cloves with a small amount of olive oil, then nestle the head into a piece of aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cloves are tender and nicely browned, about 1 hour. Remove, and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Once cool, squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and into a mixing bowl. Mash well with a wire whisk, then add the sour cream, mayonnaise, green onions, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until evenly blended, then refrigerate 2 to 4 hours to allow the flavors to blend.

ROASTED GARLIC AND WHITE BEAN DIP WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Roast the garlic: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel off most of the garlic's outermost skin but leave the whole head intact. Trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic on a large piece of aluminum foil, then drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the exposed cloves and close the foil into a pouch. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until you can pierce the center of the head with a knife. Let cool slightly.
• Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the bowl of a food processor. Add the white beans, 4 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, black pepper, cayenne (if using), hot water and salt. Purée until smooth, then taste for salt, pepper, rosemary and lemon juice. Adjust as necessary. Transfer to a serving dish.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the remaining rosemary sprig - it should sizzle. Cook until brown and crisp, flipping once, about 1 minute per side, then transfer to the top of the dip as a garnish. Pour or spoon the remaining olive oil, now infused with rosemary, over the top of the dip. Sprinkle with cayenne for a little additional heat.

PARMESAN CHEESE DIP / SPREAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together until well blended.
• Bake in a small ungreased covered casserole dish for 20 minute @ 400 degrees.
• Allow to cool a little before serving. Serve warm with your favorite crackers/bread.
• A note about the Mayonnaise. She didn't give me a measurement but I would say start with about a 1/4 cup and add more if it still seems too thick. The mayonnaise adds flavor but it can make the dip too thin if you use to much.
