Equipment

aluminum foil

Ingredients

2 shallots
3 small heads garlic
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup mayo
6 tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese
6 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
3 tbsp dry minced chives
2 tbsp dry parsley
salt and pepper to taste
crusty bread for serving

Instructions

Roast Fresh Garlic and Shallots

Begin by trimming off the tops of the shallots and the garlic heads, disposing of the trimmed parts.
Position the shallots on a piece of foil, turning up the edges to form a bowl-like structure.
Drizzle olive oil over them and season with salt and pepper. Completely envelop the garlic and shallots in the foil.
Proceed to roast them in an oven set at 375 degrees for an hour. Once they're done cooking, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool down completely before you start making the dip.

Mix up Dip

Squeeze shallots and garlic into a mixing bowl, discarding the skins. With a fork, mash them until they're a smooth paste.
Incorporate the sour cream, mayonnaise, mix of cheeses, and all remaining spices into the paste, blending everything well.
Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper to taste.
For the flavors to blend well, cover the dip and refrigerate it for a minimum of 2 hours or preferably overnight.
To serve, pair dip with some crusty bread or fresh vegetables.
