This isn't hard at all. I'm not one for fancy cooking but

I can make this.

ROASTED GARLIC BREAD WITH GORGONZOLA

 

For garlic oil

1 large head garlic

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

 

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 4 1/2 ounces)

1 baguette

 

Make garlic oil:

Preheat oven to 450°F. Wrap garlic head in foil and

roast in middle of oven until tender, about 45

minutes. Carefully unwrap garlic and cool.

Horizontally halve garlic head and arrange, cut sides

down, in a small bowl with oil.

 

Preheat broiler.

 

In a saucepan boil cream, stirring occasionally,

until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Add Gorgonzola and

cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until cheese

melts and sauce is smooth. Remove pan from heat and

keep sauce warm, covered.

 

Horizontally halve baguette and arrange, cut sides

up, on a baking sheet. Broil bread 2 to 3 inches from

heat until golden. (If crust is soft, you may broil

crust side of baguette as well.) Brush cut sides of

baguette with garlic oil and season

with salt. Cut baguette crosswise into 1-inch-thick

slices.

 

Pour warm Gorgonzola sauce onto center of a large

plate and arrange roasted garlic bread slices around

sauce.
