Roasted Garlic


This is one of my specialties...  For less than $5, you can make a filling meal (or appetizer) that will leave you with unbelievable garlic breath... So eat it with your significant other so you can kiss each other and not be quarantined for your foul-smelling mouth.  Trust me, it's worth it.

Ingredients
  • 1 long loaf of French Bread (fresh if you can get it)
  • 1 container Feta Cheese
  • 3 whole garlic cloves
  • Olive oil
  • Butter or margarine
  • Various other veggies that you may want add
    • (I like green or red peppers, but you can add things such as grape tomatoes, onions, kalamata olives, jalepeno peppers, cucumbers... the sky is the limit)
Directions
  1. Chop the pointy tops off of your garlic cloves, so that each individual clove is showing like so:
  2. This is a picture of what it looks like AFTER it's been baked, but you get the picture, don't you? I knew you were smart.
  3. Put on a baking sheet covered in aluminum foil
  4. Generously pour olive oil over the cloves.
  5. Stick it in the oven at 425 degrees for about 45 minutes.
    1. Keep an eye on them so the cloves don't burn.
  6. When the tops are starting to slide out of the peels a little bit, and they've begun to soften, remove from the oven.
  7. Meanwhile, slice your french bread into little ovals, place on a baking sheet, and spread butter over top of them.
  8. When your garlic has finished, put your bread in the oven- but keep an eye on it! The bread only takes a few minutes, and it's very easy to burn.
  9. When both your garlic and your bread is finished, remove a clove with a knife and spread over your bread like you'd spread butter.
  10. Add feta cheese, onions, green pepper, grape tomato slices, etc. then consume.

*Note that this meal (or appetizer) can be very messy... so keep some napkins or paper towels nearby... And bring out the Trident Gum for dessert, you stinky person you.
