This is going to be a short but hopefully valuable blog post.

This easy, delicious roasted garlic bread spread can serve more than one function. It can be a dip, you can spice up your food with it we spread it on a fresh baguette. It was divine.

Life is too short to worry about garlic breath. Share it with your loved ones so you don’t have to worry about it. 🙂

I am always in search of spreads. In Hungary typical breakfast is bread or bread rolls spread with butter or margarine, some type of lunch meat and veggies. Although I am not a fan of lunch meats, too many fats, nitrates, sodium, and in some cases too many additives and unless you buy premium brands they contain mechanically separated meat (MSM). There are regulations for how much MSM lunch meats and other products can contain. Still, I choose not to consume them if I have other options.

So I became fond of homemade spreads. My favourites include hummus, ajvar, roasted garlic spread, nut butters, guacamole, pesto, jams….and the list goes on.

I hope you will try and enjoy this recipe.

I can't give you specific measurements because 
I measured the ingredients with heart and tasted them along the process. 🙂
