Steps

  1. 1

    Slice the head of garlic in half around the middle, exposing cloves on both sides — no need to peel it.

  2. 2

    Place the halves on a sheet of aluminum foil, coat the exposed sides with plenty of olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

  3. 3

    Crumple the foil into a ball, set it in a small oven-safe baking dish, and bake at 400°F for 30-45 minutes, until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Let it cool before handling.

  4. 4

    Add the cottage cheese, mayo, parsley, oregano, thyme and black pepper to a large mixing bowl.

  5. 5

    Grate in about 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and mix until well combined.

  6. 6

    Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their husks and into the bowl.

  7. 7

    Mix again, or blend if cottage cheese chunks bother you.

  8. 8

    Serve cold with whatever raw veggies you want.

  9. 9

    For the hot version: grate in about 1/2 cup garlic and herb cheddar cheese and mix well.

  10. 10

    Spoon the dip into a small oven-safe dish and grate more cheese over the top.

  11. 11

    Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, until hot and bubbling and the cheese has browned on top.

Creator's notes

Good hot or cold — the hot version bakes with garlic and herb cheddar on top.
