Elephant Garlic Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Seperate the cloves and brush off any dirt. Leaving the skins on, place the garlic on a small baking sheet and bake for 1/2 hour. Remove the garlic fromthe oven and cool slightly. The garlic will be crisp on the outside and creamy soft inside.
• Cut through a fresh, French loaf and butter the slices. Crack open the garlic skins and squeeze out the creamy insides, spreading liberally on the bread slices.
• Serve as an accompaniment to almost any pasta or seafood dish, or by itself!

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and the garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Liberally brush the crust with the garlic butter. Turn the bread cut-side up. Slice each loaf crosswise at 2-inch intervals without cutting all the way through, making "pull-apart" garlic bread. Liberally brush the cut sides of the bread with more garlic butter, spreading any remaining garlic evenly over top. You should use all the garlic butter. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the loaves with the Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients and mix until smooth using a blender or food processor. Toss in zest and parsley. Wrap the butter in plastic wrap, forming a roll, and keep in the freezer.

Steps:

• preheat oven to 350.
• seperate garlic into cloves.
• remove papery outer coating from the garlic.
• cut 1 inch from top of each clove.
• place in a 1 quart casserole dish.
• drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• cover and bake 1 hour 30 minutes.
• squeeze warm cloves out of skin and smash with a fork.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Trim root end from garlic cloves and remove skin. Place cloves on a large square of aluminum foil. Place thyme sprigs among the garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Fold up the sides of the foil to create a packet and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until garlic is soft and golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Discard thyme and let garlic cool.
• Place cream cheese into a medium bowl. Add garlic on top and mash cloves with a fork. Season with additional salt and cracked black pepper to taste, and stir mixture until evenly combined. Alternately, you may use a small food processor for a smoother consistency.
