Ingredients:

  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • salt
  • 5 slices bacon
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 ounces goat cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the top 1/4 inch off the garlic, place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil.

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before using a fork to remove each clove.

  • In a bowl combine garlic, cream cheese and goat cheese. Roll into a ball.
  • Mix bacon bits and chives together in a pie dish. Roll cheese ball into bacon to coat completely.
