Garlic Cheese Toast

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 bulbs garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chipotle chilies
• 2 shallots
• 3 cloves garlic
• ½ cup butter
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 1 loaf ciabatta
• 6 slices American cheese
• 1 cup cheddar cheese

  shredded
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon green onion

  diced

Instructions

• 1 To start, use a sharp knife to slice off the top of the bulbs, exposing the
  cloves inside. Don't slice off too much; you want the cloves to stay connected
  to the base.
• 2 Place the garlic bulbs on aluminum foil and drizzle the olive oil on top,
  coating each bulb generously and season with pepper.
• 3 Wrap the garlic bulb tightly in the aluminum foil, creating a packet that seals
  in the flavors.
• 4 Place the foil-wrapped garlic bulbs on a baking sheet or directly on the oven
  rack. Roast in a preheated oven for 30-40 minutes at 400F or until the cloves
  are soft and caramelized.
• 5 Once roasted, carefully remove the garlic from the oven and allow it to cool for
  a few minutes. Then, unwrap the foil packet. The cloves should be soft and
  golden brown.
• 6 Use a fork or your fingers to gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of
  their skins. They should come out easily.
• 7 Add the roasted garlic, chipotle chilies, shallots, garlic, butter, salt, and
  pepper in a food processor and grind until combined as a paste.
• 8 Start with your ciabatta loaf and slice it in half.
• 9 Take each slice of bread and spread a generous amount of the garlic butter on
  one side of each slice.
• 10 Place 3 cheese slices, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the garlic-buttered
  side of each bread slice.
• 11 Place the prepared bread slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cheese side
  up. Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for about 10-15 minutes, or until the
  cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
• 12 Garnish your garlic cheese toast with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of chili
  flakes and green onion.
• 13 Serve while hot, and enjoy!
