Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Bread Dip
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the tops off the two heads of garlic, drizzle them with olive oil, and wrap them in foil. Roast for 40-50 minutes until soft.
  2. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Squeeze roasted garlic into a mixing bowl, mash into a paste. Mix in cream cheese and sour cream until creamy.
  3. Stir in the mozzarella cheese, half the parmesan, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
  4. Spread dip mixture in a baking dish, sprinkle remaining parmesan on top. Bake for 25-28 minutes until bubbly and golden.
