I made this for the first time for a Chrismas pot luck party. It was such a hit that I made it again for my New Year's Eve party. Ingredients:
6 cloves garlic |

1 (16 ounce) package cream cheese |
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese |
1 cup chopped tomato |
1 tablespoon sliced basil |
1/4 cup minced white onion |
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh garlic |
1 -2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
kosher salt |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Remove peel from garlic and place on a piece of aluminum foil.
3. Drizzle with olive oil.
4. Wrap up garlic and roast in oven for about 30 minutes, or until soft.
5. In a medium bowl, toss tomatoes, basil, onion, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and chill.
6. Remove roasted garlic from the oven.
7. Combine garlic with the cream cheese until smooth.
8. Slice bread, 1/2-inch thick, on the bias.
9. Toast the bread in the oven slightly and set aside.
10. Spread cream cheese mixture on the toast and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
11. Return to oven to warm the cheese.
12. Remove from the oven and top with tomatoes mixture and serve.
