Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Bread Dip
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim tops of heads of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in aluminum foil. Bake for 40-50 minutes until soft and golden brown.
  2. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Unwrap the foil and squeeze out roasted garlic into a mixing bowl. Mash into a smooth paste.
  3. Add room-temperature cream cheese and sour cream to the bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy, then stir in mozzarella, half of the Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  4. Transfer mixture to a baking dish, sprinkle remaining Parmesan on top, and bake for 25-28 minutes until hot and bubbling.
  5. Allow cooling for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm with crostini or crackers.
