Dragon's Breath Dip

By Linda Larsen, About.com

There are two heads (yes, entire heads) of garlic in this dip! (That’s why it’s called Dragon’s Breath). But I assure you, when garlic is roasted, it becomes sweet and nutty. This is one of the most popular dips I have ever served.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hours,

Ingredients:

  • 2 heads garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 8 oz. Brie cheese
  • 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
  • dash white pepper

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut top 1/2" off the top of the garlic heads. Remove some of the loose papery skin, leaving the heads intact. Place each on a square of foil, drizzle each with the olive oil, and wrap well. Bake at 350 degrees 50-60 minutes, until the garlic is very soft and begins to brown. Cool until easy to handle. Squeeze each head to remove the soft roasted cloves.

In a food processer, process Brie cheese with the seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic cloves. (You can also cream these ingredients together using the back of a spoon and a lot of energy.) Refrigerate several hours to blend flavors. Serve with crackers, crostini, and sliced French bread.
