Roast Beef Sandwiches with Roasted Garlic Spread
This recipe is part of Linda Larsen's Elegant Sandwiches article.
1 head (yes, a whole head) of garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 ounces softened cream cheese
Cut off the very top of garlic head, place on foil square and drizzle with oil. Wrap up, place on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees 45-60 minutes or until very soft and light brown. Let cool. Remove garlic pulp from papery skins by turning inside out and squeezing. Blend the softened cream cheese with the garlic. Refrigerate. Makes enough for 8 sandwiches.
For each sandwich:
Crusty French bread, sliced
Cooked sliced roast beef
Fresh basil leaves
Fresh sliced tomatoes
Assemble sandwiches just before serving.
