Ingredients
- 10.166666666667 head garlic, divided
- 30.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 10.166666666667 loaf crusty French bread, split in half, lengthwise
- 20.333333333333 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
- 10.166666666667 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated
- .250.0416666666667 cup Italian parsley chopped
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Cut tip off the head of garlic. Place in foil and drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the foil around it and put it in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until cloves are tender.
- After garlic has been roasting for 20 minutes, place the tomatoes onto a baking sheet and toss them with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast until they've softened and burst open, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer the roasted tomatoes to a medium size mixing bowl and let them cool slightly. When garlic has finished roasting, squeeze the softened cloves into the bowl of tomatoes and mash them together.
- With tomatoes out of the oven, place the bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes.
- Spread the tomato/garlic mixture over the bread halves and sprinkle cheese evenly over both pieces. Place the bread back into the oven to melt the cheese, 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped parsley.
