Cheesy Roasted Garlic Bread with Tomatoes
Crazy good 3-cheese roasted garlic bread with sliced tomatoes.
Ingredients
For the Roasted Garlic:
- 1 bulb garlic
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
For the Cheese Bread:
- 4 thick slices French bread
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Roasted Garlic
- 8 slices fresh tomato
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
For the Roasted Garlic:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- On a large piece of foil, lay the bulb of garlic. Drizzle olive oil on top of the garlic.
- Lift up the edges of the foil and squeeze them together to form a “tent”. Bake in a preheated (at 375 degrees F.) oven for 25 minutes.
- Then remove from the oven and using hot mitts, open the foil. Let cool.
- Once cooled, using the flat edge of a knife or a spoon, squeeze each garlic clove out of the skin. Set aside for a moment.
For the Cheese Bread:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small to medium size casserole or baking dish, lay out the pieces of French bread side-by-side.
- Then drizzle olive oil on top of each piece of bread and spread roasted garlic on the bread with a knife. It’s best if the garlic is a little bit chunky when spreading it.
- Lay the slices of tomato on top of the garlic. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top of the tomatoes.
- On top of each tomato, add dollops of ricotta cheese and top with dried oregano.
- On top, add both types of shredded cheese and bake in a preheated oven (at 350 degrees F.) until the cheese melts (about 25 minutes).
- Serve warm.
