Have you tried roasting garlic and shallots bread? They are famous for their intense flavors and aromas, making them excellent aromatic ingredients in cooking. However, roasting them gently in olive oil transforms their strong flavor into something more subdued, resulting in a sweeter and milder taste. It’s quite a departure from the robust garlic flavour of traditional garlic bread, so prepare for something different!
Cheese?
As for the cheese, feel free to use any type you have on hand (we’re all about being practical here). But if you’re going shopping, I’d suggest Mozzarella for its excellent melting quality and Parmesan for its sharp, distinctive flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of Italian bread (I used Pane de Casa)
- 3 shallots
- 2 garlic bulbs
- 125g butter, softened
- 1 tbsp miso
- 1/2 tbsp chili flakes
- Cheese (I used a mix of mozzarella and parmesan)
- Parsley, chopped
- 1-2 tbsp honey
Instructions:
- Cut off the tops of the garlic bulbs and shallots. Arrange them on a piece of foil, generously drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Wrap them in the foil and bake at 180C / 350F for 1hr – 1hr15min until they turn golden and caramelised. Let them cool afterwards.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic and shallots into a bowl. Add softened butter, miso, chilli flakes, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Slice your bread loaf lengthwise and generously spread the prepared mixture over it (you may also create small cuts in the bread for better absorption of the mixture). Sprinkle cheese over the top and grill/broil at 180C / 350F for 15-20 mins or until it turns golden brown (be sure to keep an eye on it to prevent burning).
- Once it’s golden and crisp, garnish with parsley and a drizzle of honey. Cut into slices and serve.
