You will need…

• Sourdough bread

• 2-3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese

• 1 whole head garlic

• 1 tablespoon robust olive oil plus a little extra for drizzling

• Sea salt & pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400𝇈F. Using a sharp chef's knife, slice about ½” off the top of the garlic head (just enough to expose the cloves). Peel the thin outer layers from the head while keeping the bulb intact.

2. Place the garlic in the center of a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of robust olive oil. Wrap aluminum foil around garlic and place it on a baking sheet. Roast garlic in the oven for about 40 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.

3. Once cooled, squeeze the buttery soft garlic from its cloves and mash in a small bowl with a fork.

4. Slice sourdough bread at a 45𝇈 angle. Toast until crispy and golden brown.

5. Generously spread mascarpone cheese on bruschetta, followed by roasted garlic. Top bruschetta with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and an extra drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
