Roasted Garlic Brie


Roasted Garlic Brie

1 head of garlic
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
1 tbsp. pesto
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 small round of brie

Peel outer layer of garlic head. Keep the head whole and cut off the tops of each clove; place in a double layer of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Make a loose tent around the garlic by twisting the top of the foil, make two slits in the foil so that steam may be released. Roast the garlic for 45 minutes or until it is soft. Remove the garlic from the oven. Place the brie in a baking dish and spread pesto on top of the brie. Place in the broiler until lightly browned and softened. Remove the garlic from its skins and place around the brie. It's ready to be served!

*Johnna's tip: This is the easiest entertaining dish you can make! It looks fancy and will make your guest think you brought it gourmet or hired a caterer. Serve for a nice holiday party as an appetizer before the main event. This recipe is also perfect for those just starting out in the catering business. Cheese dishes such as this one are popular at many affairs that call for a catering service. So play with some different cheese ideas and get busy on making that good impression...here's a start to your great cheese adventures!

*Johnna's tip, tip: This recipe was inspired by JKGF's recent venture into the catering business...yes, we said, catering!! JKGF has entered the catering world! (*More details to follow and pictures to come from JKGF recent catering events)

*Johnna's tip,tip,tip: Ooo and it taste best with some toasted French or Italian bread.
