Ingredients

  • 3 heads garlic tops sliced off
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (8-ounce) package softened cream cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • minced parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and position a rack in the center of the oven. Spray a small baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Cut the tops off 3 heads garlic to expose the cloves and place them on a piece of foil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then wrap the foil around the garlic and place it on a baking sheet. Roast for 40-55 minutes or until garlic is tender. Cool the garlic before squeezing.
  • Squeeze the roasted garlic into a large bowl. Mash the garlic using a fork until it becomes a paste.
  • Add 1 (8-ounce) package softened cream cheese, ½ cup sour cream, ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 cup of the 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, and ½ cup grated parmesan cheese. Using an electric hand mixer, mix the ingredients until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the dip into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt and is golden brown on top.
  • Serve warm with crostini, crackers, or bread!

Notes

Storing, Reheating, & Make Ahead Instructions
  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat: Warm in the microwave or oven on low until the cheese is melted.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the dip ahead of time, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, remove the wrap and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if it’s cold, or let it come to room temperature first.
