ROASTED GARLIC AND THREE-CHEESE SPREAD

For best flavor, make this dip a day in advance.

12 servings (about 2 tablespoons each)

1 small bulb garlic

Olive oil cooking spray

8 ounces fat-free cream cheese, room temperature

1½–2 ounces goat cheese

¼ cup (2 ounces) grated fat-free Parmesan cheese

⅛ teaspoon white pepper

2–4 tablespoons fat-free milk

Dippers: Vegetable relishes and assorted crackers

1. Cut off top of garlic bulb to expose cloves. Spray garlic lightly with cooking spray and wrap in aluminum foil; bake at 400 degrees until very tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool; gently press cloves to remove from skins. Mash cloves with fork.

2. Mix cheeses, garlic, and white pepper in bowl, adding enough milk to make desired spreading consistency. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours for flavors to blend. Serve with dippers (not included in nutritional data).
