Recipe post

I am such a copycat. If you like garlic and cheese, though, I am your kind of copycat.

The Garlic Thing

1lb mozzarella or similar cheese
9 hardboiled eggs
[ Note: if you are comfortable with the metric system, it's 2 eggs per 100g of cheese. Just in case you ever wanted to make less than is needed to feed an army, I mean.]
garlic to taste (might need up to a bulb)
mayo to taste

Grate mozzarella and eggs on the smaller, but no the smallest side of a grater. You can also use a food processor set to a setting that would allow you to get similar results. Although to tell the truth, I sometimes go for the ease and convenience, and grate into bigger bits.

Use garlic press to crush garlic and add it to the cheese and eggs. (I use about a bulb of garlic for a pound of cheese, but I like my garlic to come through. And through, and through.) Mix.

Add mayo to taste. I like the whole thing to become smooth and just short of creamy.

Let sit in a fridge, covered, for a couple of hours or overnight to allow the flavor to permeate.

Enjoy!

This sounds yummy!

If this keeps up, we could start our own dead baby momma cookbook.

I mean heck, why not?

Is this a dip or spread or something, or do you just eat it with a spoon?

Julia said...

Caro, it's definitely not a dip-- too solid. But you can use it as a spread or as a salad-type thing which is amenable to being eaten with a spoon. Enjoy!

That sounds interesting. And different.
